Let me go I don't wanna be your hero I don't wanna be a big man Just wanna fight like everyone else Your masquerade I don't wanna be a part of your parade Everyone deserves a chance to Walk with everyone else While holding down A job to keep my girl around And maybe buy me some new strings And her and I out on the weekend And we can whisper things Secrets from my American dreams Baby needs some protection But I'm a kid like everyone else So let me go I don't wanna be your hero I don't wanna be a big man I just wanna fight like everyone else Ooh Ooh So let me go I don't wanna be your hero I don't wanna be a big man I just wanna fight with everyone else Your masquerade I don't wanna be a part of your parade Everyone deserves a chance to Walk with everyone else
