I knew he was different in his sexuality
I went to his parties as a straight minority
It never seemed a threat to my masculinity
He only introduced me to a wider reality
As the years went by, we drifted apart
When I heard that he was gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart
But he's nobody's hero, saves a drowning child
Cures a wasting disease, hero, lands the crippled airplane
Solves great mysteries, hero, not the handsome actor
Who plays a hero's role, hero, not the glamor girl
Who'd love to sell her soul if anybody's buying, nobody's hero
I didn't know the girl but I knew her family
All their lives were shattered in a nightmare of brutality
They try to carry on, try to bear the agony
Try to hold some faith in the goodness of humanity
As the years went by, we drifted apart
When I heard that she was gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart
But she's nobody's hero, is the voice of reason
Against the howling mob? Hero, is the pride of purpose
In the unrewarding job? Hero, not the champion player
Who plays the perfect game, hero, not the glamor boy
Who loves to sell his name, everybody's buying, nobody's hero
As the years went by, we drifted apart
When I heard that you were gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart
But he's nobody's hero, saves a drowning child
Cures a wasting disease, hero, lands the crippled airplane
Solves great mysteries, hero, not the handsome actor
Who plays a hero's role, hero, not the glamor girl
Who'd love to sell her soul, if anybody's buying, nobody's hero, hero
