Accept the fact that you're 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 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 facedown life ain't so much of a pity

But the luv-a-duckin' way you're walkin' 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
