Hero

I won't change my name
No matter what you call me
I lost my only friend
And I'll grieve you till the end
Am I your hero
Am I your hero how
To die a hero
Is all that we know now
Am I your hero
Am I your hero now
Am I your hero
Am I your hero now
Please don't shoot me down
I loved you like a brother
It's on the news again
I guess they killed another
Am I your hero
Am I your hero now
To die a hero
Is all that we know now
Oh we all get told to go
Alone
Oh we know it's all for show
We know, we know
Am I your hero
Am I your hero now
To die a hero
Is all that we know now
Am I your negro
A fallen hero now
Hear no see no
Speak no evil now
My amigo
No gun to reload now
A broken people
They go were we go now
