Lyrics[]
- [Nathan] What is a hero? Who am I?
- I’m a simple multi-platinum rock star living a simple multi-platinum life
- I don’t know ‘bout that crazy world, just driving this A-list mile
- I’m just a filthy rich economic power and all that I need I buy
- Oh!
- How can I be a hero when I’m just a krillionaire?
- There ain’t no groupie blowjob that can help me to prepare
- How can I be your hero when I’m just a man that is larger than life?
- I’m just a tiny little miniscule superstar trying to get by, well...
- [Pickles] Maybe if we threw this life away
- We can learn to live a different way
- [Murderface] Oh, I’ll go back to school and get myself a degree
- In something f—king useless like psychology
- [Skwisgaar] Oh, I could gets myself a wifes and leads a different lifes
- And hides out in the bathroom and jack offs every night
- [Pickles] Start driving a hybrid, brag I’m saving the planet
- [Skwisgaar] Quote SNLs at works all days and acts like it’s ad libs
- [Nathan] But if that’s the life of a regular jackoff
- I’d probably just kill myself, yeah!
- How can I be a hero when my dick is big as a shoe?
- There ain’t no all-access passes that help me to break through
- So many items on my backstage rider but there ain’t no bravery
- I’m just the seventh top financial power, but I’m little old me
- [Dethklok sans Toki] How can I be a hero...
- [Pickles] ...when I get everything for free?
- [Skwisgaar] I screws more girls than Wilt Chamberlains—I can proves it with my STDs
- [Dethklok sans Toki] How can I be your hero when we’re the world’s largest metal band?
- [Nathan] I’ll never be a hero, ‘cause I’m better than everyone but I’m just a man
- I’m afraid the answer is no
