Rock 'N' Roll Hero lyrics

Throughout all the lean years The sad in between years Living behind my gun Tryin' to be a hero The glare of the spotlight Shone down on my life Blinding my schoolboy dreams A Rock 'n' Roll hero Tonight I'm dancing in my backyard Nobody here to share my dream A dancer with a score of zero But I'm beautiful I'm so beautiful I watch the drivers on the freeway And everyone is going home To a family That waits on their hero Tonight I'm watching on the small screen A man forgotten, just like me Fell from the stratosphere to zero But he's beautiful Much more beautiful A Rock 'n' Roll hero (Instrumental) From out of the lean years The sad in between years Hiding behind my gun A Rock 'n' Roll hero
