An iron fist quietly sits inside the velvet glove Take control, untouchable, just like God above I can’t escape wrapped in red tape, what will become of me? If I object then I defect, my country ‘tis of thee (The White House is calling) Tell them I’ll call them back Just tell them anything Yeah, get them off my back The world needs a hero Not that I would ever lie, but I have no choice Words I say heard today, are not mine just my voice (NATO is on line 1) They want to talk to me Tell them that I’m not in Tell them that I’m not free The world needs a hero The world needs a hero Phantom rule, the hidden jewel, who’s really in control? On puppet strings, a nation swings, undermined by moles (The UN is on hold) Tell them I’ll call them back Yeah, tell them anything Just get them off my back The world needs a hero The world needs a hero (Dave the White House is calling) They want to talk to me Tell them that I can’t be bought Tell them that I’m not free The world needs a hero Ha, yeah! The world needs a hero (The world needs a hero) The world needs a hero Ha! I gotta gotta gotta find a hero! The world needs a hero Oh-ahuh!
