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
The world needs a hero
The world needs a hero
The world needs a hero
The world needs a hero
