Hard Up For Heroes

People need heroes and when it's said and it's done

Men will invent them if there are none

What is the substance by which we are awed?

Look at them closely - they're seriously flawed!

Hard up for Heroes. Hard Up For Heroes...

What kind of hero will die in your place

Choosing to face humiliation?

When place in the balance are they to be found

Lacking sound basis for our expectations?

Hard Up For Heroes...

Well men select and bless them

While believing the reverse

Love their sins and do not confess them

They labor under a curse!

Hard Up For Heroes...Hard Up For Heroes

What kind of hero would make no reply

Lay down and die in condemnation?

What kind of hero would give up himself

Descend into hell for your salvation?

Hard Up For Heroes.

Well I have a holy hero

He can be your hero too

Accept him or curse Him-

It's all up to you

Hard Up For Heroes...Hard Up For Heroes
