The drums are beating
The storms are coming
I'm supposed to be saving everyone
The people can't live
Without their hero

I don't want to be the one
Who's always looked upon
But still I can't fit in the crowd
Without someone knowing my name
It always ends the same

I just wanna be normal
Someone with a life
A life to enjoy
Or what's the point of living?

I don't want to be the one
Who's always looked upon
But still I can't fit in the crowd
Without someone knowing my name
It always ends the same

The whole world looks to me
In a frenzy of destruction and chaos
The people say I'm the hero
People say I'm the one to save the day
But what if I get tired?
What if I get old?
I'm not perfection, definetely not a machine
So can I get a break for once?

I don't want to be the one
Who's always looked upon
But still I can't fit in the crowd
Without someone knowing my name
It always ends the same

They cry
I come
I kick bad-guy ass
Everyone cheers
But no one ever thanks me
They take me for granted

I don't want to be the one
Who's always looked upon
But still I can't fit in the crowd
Without someone knowing my name
It always ends the same

I'm old; I'm tired
I'm sick of being the hero
Let someone take my place
I don't wanna play hero
I'm oh so tired; oh so old
Let me rest in peace
I don't wanna be the one
Who's always looked upon
In a society where heroes bare the burden
Where heroes live in shame
Where heroes die without a name
I don't wanna be the one
