Analysis of TIME TO BE A HERO!
When the Anti-Christ (Now painted black!)
Tells us truth ain’t coming back,
When DARPA’s soulless men attack:
Man, it’s time to be a hero (oh yeah)
It’s sure time to be a hero! (Aha)
When World War Three is raging strong
But all the reasons are so wrong,
And good men now just don’t belong:
Man, it’s time to be a hero (oh yeah)
There’s no time to be a zero! (Na-ah)
When white means black, and black is white
And justice is surely out of sight,
When everyone says, “might is right!”:
Man, it’s time to be a hero (oh yeah)
It’s sure time to be a hero! (Aha)
When the God of truth now looks away
For vengeance is the modern way,
When only heartless fiends will stay:
Man, it’s time to be a hero (oh yeah)
There’s no time to be a zero! (Na-ah)
When Obama Sin Ladin is in town
And truth and justice cannot be found,
When all the roads just take us down:
Man, it’s time to be a hero (oh yeah)
It’s sure time to be a hero! (Aha)
Man, it’s time to be a hero (oh yeah)
It’s sure time to be a hero! (Aha)
Man, it’s time to be a hero (oh yeah)
There’s no time to be a zero! (Na-ah)
Man, it’s time to be a hero (oh yeah)
It’s sure time to be a hero! (Aha)
Man, it’s time to be a hero (oh yeah)
There’s no time to be a zero! (Na-ah)
Man, it’s time to be a hero (oh yeah)
It’s sure time to be a hero! (Aha)
THE END
