<br>
It may not feel too classy<br>
Begging just to eat<br>
But you know who does that? Lassie.<br>
And she always gets a treat<br>
So you wonder what your part is<br>
‘cause you’re homeless and depressed<br>
But home is where the heart is<br>
So your real home’s in your chest<br>
<br>
Everyone’s a hero in their own way<br>
Everyone’s got villains they must face<br>
They’re not as cool as mine<br>
But folks, you know it’s fine to know your place<br>
Everyone’s a hero in their own way<br>
In their own not-that-heroic way<br>
<br>
So I thank my girlfriend, penny<br>
(yeah, we totally had sex)<br>
She showed me there’s so many<br>
Different muscles I can flex<br>
There’s the deltoids of compassion<br>
There’s the abs of being kind<br>
It’s not enough to bash in heads<br>
you’ve got to bash in minds<br>
<br>
Everyone’s a hero in their own way<br>
Everyone’s got something they can do<br>
Get up, go out and fly<br>
Especially that guy – he smells like poo<br>
Everyone’s a hero in their own way<br>
You and you and mostly me and you<br>
<br>
I’m poverty’s new sheriff<br>
And I’m bashing in the slums<br>
A hero doesn’t care<br>
If you’re a bunch of scary alcoholic bums<br>
<br>
Everyone’s a hero in their own way<br>
Everyone can blaze a hero’s trail<br>
Don’t worry if it’s hard<br>
If you’re not a friggin' 'tard you will prevail<br>
Everyone’s a hero in their own way<br>
Everyone’s a hero in their way<br>
<br>
Groupies: (over hammer)<br>
We’re heroes too<br>
We’re just like you<br>
We’re heroes too<br>
 <br>
