About

A paean to the escapism of radio-friendly pop tunes that seldom exceeded the magic 3-minute mark, this ska revival classic reached No. 16 in the UK Singles Chart in 1980.

With either good fortune or complete knowingness, the track clocks in at exactly three minutes long.

Three Minute Hero Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They asked you if you're alright
You say yes
But all the time you know
It's a mess

[Refrain]
It's 5 p.m. and you're on your way home
Just another day with that endless grey drone

[Chorus]
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero

[Verse 2]
Drag yourself along the road
Sit on the bus
Switch on your transistor
Cause a fuss

[Refrain]
It's 11 p.m. and you're on your way home
Just another night with that endless grey drone

[Chorus]
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero

[Bridge]
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
A three minute hero

[Chorus]
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero

[Verse 3]
It's too early in the morning
Stupid job
Don't wanna eat, can't think straight
Same as yesterday

[Refrain]
It's 7 a.m. and you're leaving home
Just another day with that endless grey drone

[Outro]
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I gotta be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I gotta be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I gotta be
