Hero

One day on your doorstep I will arrive

With a guitar and a rusted .45

To rescue you

One day I'll be a leader of men

And you'll see my body on CNN

With medals and scars

One day I'll get out of this room

Before I make it my tomb

I don't want to die here

But I never learnt to play guitar

And I do not own a gun

Camouflage never suited me

And the outside world's no fun

Smoking makes me cough

I don't want to fuck girls

I can't do kung-fu

Scowl for the cameras

Or even rhyme for very long
