Rock 'N' Roll Hero
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
