Hard Up For Heroes
People need heroes and when it's said and it's done
Men will invent them if there are none
What is the substance by which we are awed?
Look at them closely - they're seriously flawed!
Hard up for Heroes. Hard Up For Heroes...
What kind of hero will die in your place
Choosing to face humiliation?
When place in the balance are they to be found
Lacking sound basis for our expectations?
Hard Up For Heroes...
Well men select and bless them
While believing the reverse
Love their sins and do not confess them
They labor under a curse!
Hard Up For Heroes...Hard Up For Heroes
What kind of hero would make no reply
Lay down and die in condemnation?
What kind of hero would give up himself
Descend into hell for your salvation?
Hard Up For Heroes.
Well I have a holy hero
He can be your hero too
Accept him or curse Him-
It's all up to you
Hard Up For Heroes...Hard Up For Heroes
