Heroes, champions, outliers, stars
Celebrated on cereal and trading cards
Narcissistic pursuits seen as righteous
Individualism sold as virtuous

Society obsessed with power and greatness
And with those who became rich and famous
But privilege and luck made them meaningful
Maintaining the hierarchy of people

I'm so tired of heroes
Can we let go of heroes?
Stop telling stories of heroes
I'm so tired of heroes
I'm so tired of heroes

Adults promised constant fulfillment
Left with mundane of underachievement
Raised with impossible expectations
Depressed from failures and limitations

Pointless comparison, try to measure up
To ideals of an unattainable setup
No need to judge someone's worth
We have inherent value being on earth

I'm so tired of heroes
Can we let go of heroes?
Stop telling stories of heroes
I'm so tired of heroes
I'm so tired of heroes

Global Scientists share their finds
Inventors draw upon prior designs
Nobel prize winners had collaborators
With effort, we can all be change makers

It's everyone who lives with compassion
Who joins a movement, a riot, a petition
Who raise good kids, votes, joins a march
We move forward when we do our part

Can we let go of heroes?
Do we benefit from this narrative?
Stop searching for genius
Cultivate the collaborative
Why not champion people?
Working to change the world in which we live

I'm so tired of heroes
Can we let go of heroes?
Stop telling stories of heroes
I'm so tired of heroes
I'm so tired of heroes
