Lyrics
Rock 'N' Roll Hero
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Throughout all the lean years
The sad in between years
Living behind my gun
Tryin' to be a hero
The glare of the spotlight
Shone down on my life
Blinding my schoolboy dreams
A Rock 'n' Roll hero
Tonight I'm dancing in my backyard
Nobody here to share my dream
A dancer with a score of zero
But I'm beautiful
I'm so beautiful
I watch the drivers on the freeway
And everyone is going home
To a family
That waits on their hero
Tonight I'm watching on the small screen
A man forgotten, just like me
Fell from the stratosphere to zero
But he's beautiful
Much more beautiful
A Rock 'n' Roll hero
(Instrumental)
From out of the lean years
The sad in between years
Hiding behind my gun
A Rock 'n' Roll hero
