We´ve all dreamed together of being kids forever
Hanging on to all the people that we love like:
Monroe and jfk, hoping they'll come back someday,
Elvis, john and jimmy, too, what´s the world gonna do?

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa !
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive,
To keep yourself alive.

We made believe that we could be on tv,
A secret fantasy that we were mr james dean,
Then alan freed called it rock n´roll and started it all,
The beatles, who, kiss and crue,
What´s the world gonna do?

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa !
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive.

Refrain

We´re all living in, a world of aids and sin,
We´re taken one by one in vain from what we all have done,
Turn on the tv set, theres murder, rape, i do regret.
Don´t despair, we care
Trust in me i´ll set you free.

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa !
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive.
