Lyrics[]
Accept the fact that your second rate life is easy for you It's all served up on a gold plated plate And we don't even have to talk to you Your face is normal, that's the way you're bred And that's the way you're going to stay Your head is firmly nailed to your TV channel But someone else's finger's on the control panel What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother? Zero the hero Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother? Zero the hero When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother? Zero the hero Impossibility, impissibolity, mother Really a hero You sit there, watch it all burn down It's easy and breezy for you You play your life to a different sound No edge, no edge, you got no knife have you Your life is a six lane highway to nowhere You're going so fast you're never ever gonna get down there Where the heroes sit by the river With a magic in their music as they eat raw liver What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother? Zero the hero Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother? Zero the hero When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother? Zero the hero Impossibility, impissibolity, mother Really a hero You stand there captain, and we all look You really are mediocre You are the champion in the Acme form book But I think you're just a joker Your freedom life ain't so much of a pity But the luv-a-ducking way you're walking around The city with your balls and your head full of nothing It's easy for you sucker, but you really need stuffing What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother? Zero the hero Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother? Zero the hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother? Zero the hero Impossibility, impissibolity, mother Really a hero
