My Very Own Hero

Your very own hero
Left here today
Folks on the street say
They saw him carried away
Some say they caught him lying
Some say they laid him to rest
But not one of them was crying
Not a tear touched his head

I heard them say...
"Run him out of town
Don't leave a single trace behind
They always think they'll live forever
And all their promises, they break on a dime
Go on now, drive him to the desert
Tie his hands behind his head
Blow a kiss with your rеvolver now
You're bettеr off with him dead"
He left here today your very own hero
All the young heroes

Our very own heroes
They seem to drop off like flies
You can see it on the evening news
Save the tears from your eyes
And watch familiar sad faces
As they disappear from view
For every hero that's dead and gone
They'll find another for you
Lord, it's true

I heard them say…
"Keep them on the run
Don't leave a single one behind
And hide away our precious children
'Cause they're the ones
Who'll believe them every time
Go on now, chase them to the river
Bend their knees and bow their heads
And what you do then, do quickly now
Make sure you turn that river red,”
They've left here today our very own heroes
Oh, the young heroes

Oh, my little hero
Where did you go last night?
Oh, my sweet young hero
You're no one else's but mine
Oh, and for someone who can see through me
Well, you can be so blind
And all you heroes who try to leave
You'll never get out alive

You'll never get out alive, baby
You'll never get out here alive, baby
Pack it up, no, ooh...

Somebody said…
"Drive him to the ground
Don't leave a trace of him behind"
They always think they'll live forever
But all their promises they break every time
I found Him waiting in the garden
With His hands held high above
I heard him whisper as I kissed Him
"You always hurt the one you love"
You left today my very own hero

All the young heroes
My very own hero
All the young heroes
You'll never get out here alive, baby
You'll never get out here alive, baby
No, you won't, oh, no!
