who is the hero

Hello darlin', I'm home again Covered in shit and aches and pains Too knackered to think so give me time to come round Just gimme the living room beat to the TV sound My hard earned dough goes in bills and the larder And that Prince Philip tells us we gotta work harder! It seems a constant struggle just to exist Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists From this window I've seen the whole world pass From dawn to dusk I've heard the last laugh laughed I've seen enough tears to wash away this street I've heard wedding bells chime and a funeral march When as one life finishes another one starts From this window I've seen the whole world pass From dawn to dusk I've heard the last laugh laughed I've seen enough tears to wash away this street I've heard wedding bells chime and a funeral march When as one life finishes another one starts Alright then love so I'll be off now It's back to the lunchbox and workermanagement rows There's gotta be more to this old life then this Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists

Gazing down from Skidor I can see the future Music, art, and science are gonna bust Oh prepare to meet her in this labyrinth This ancient archive full of dust I'm a hero, ground zero If I don't take off I'll surely drown I'm a hero, ground zero In the end every leader becomes a clown Every rock star wants to make a movie But the darkness should save her, then the light I won't go back to walkdown music From this old hilltop, I'll take flight I am a hero, ground zero In my face, a clean cut burns my eyes I'm a hero, ground zero On my back is the heat of a new sunrise You look so good like spring I didn't know that looks could kill From up here I could hear you sing How many rooms can one note fill? You raised me up and then you dropped me I drank and sank, got set in stone I was adopted by the angels They said my future was postponed I was a hero, ground zero I believe my stock has been thrown I was a hero, ground zero I've had the shock of being dethroned Of being disowned
