He brought the war home with him, still got sand in his boots
he's wrestling with the demons and the cold hard truth
Something ain't right about him, he came back different
Something in his eyes said he's seen too much, something in his legs says he'd had enough
Heros, everybody needs heros
Even heros need a little help
Heros can't always be heros
Who's gonna save the hero from himself
2nd Verse
He's got a picture from Bahgdad, him and his buddies
They're just horsin' around, gettin' ready
One-by-one he watched them die, just scared kids, and he don't know why
He's the only one to make it out alive
Heros, everybody needs heros
Even heros need a little help
Heros can't always be heros
Who's gonna save the hero from himself
Bridge
Ten thousand clicks away in his head, he can smell the smoke he can smell the dead
Silver star and a pistol in a drawer, the morphine just ain't workin' no more
Heros, everybody needs heros
Even heros need a little help
Heros can't always be heros
Who's gonna save the hero from himself
