Jesse James was a wild west man
A stone cold killer Don't need no gang, no
And Norma Jean hit the silver screen
The biggest thing I've ever seen, wow
(We need a hero) Hold on N' don't let go
(Some kinda hero) I know (we know)
If you want it, come N' get it
Heroes die young
Heroes die young
I said, it's only natural
You're like an animal
Heroes die young
Heroes die young
So play the game, pay the price
Take a one way ticket to Paradise, now
JFK couldn't get away
Dallas shook the USA
(We need a hero) Hold on, don't let go
(Some kinda hero) I know (we know)
If you want it, come N' get it
Heroes die young
Heroes die young
I said, it's only natural
You're like an animal
Heroes die young
Heroes die young
(Solo)
I need a hero (hold on, don't let go)
Some kinda hero (we know) I know
If you want it, come N' get it
Heroes die young
Heroes die young
It's only natural You're like an animal
Heroes die young
Heroes die young
So you wanna live fast N' die young
You wanna be a hero?
Go ahead, blow your life away?
(Heroes) Die young
(Heroes) So if ya want it, come N' get it
(Heroes) Oh heroes die young
(Heroes) Heroes die young
(Heroes) Oh if ya want it just come N' get it
