My hero wanted to be on top of the world
So he collected fast cars and faster girls
The cover of a magazine said he was cool
We found him at the bottom of his indoor pool
My hero always fought like a hungry lion
He could find trouble without even trying
His reputation stood ahead of him in line
Now he's face down with a bullet in his spine
Having heroes isn't what it used to be
It used to be that they were better than me
I used to look up to them like they were kings
Now they reflect the evil in everything
My hero never wanted to grow up
So he drank from the fountain till he was drunk
Tried to live everyday like he was 21
Well wouldn't you know it he died young
My hero had his name on his tennis shoes
Had his own show on MTV News
Shined on like superman for the camera crews
Turns out he looked good in a casket too
Having heroes isn't what it used to be
It used to be that they were better than me
I used to look up to them like they were kings
Now they reflect the evil in everything
