Lyrics
I, I will be kingAnd you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can beat them, just for one day We can be heroes, just for one dayAnd you, you can be meanAnd I, I’ll drink all the time ‘Cause we’re lovers, and that is a fact Yes we’re lovers, and that is that Though nothing will keep us together We could steal time just for one day We can be heroes for ever and ever What d’you say?I, I wish you could swimLike the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing, nothing will keep us together We can beat them, for ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes, just for one dayI, I will be kingAnd you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can be Heroes, just for one day We can be us, just for one dayI, I can remember (I remember)Standing, by the wall (by the wall) And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads) And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall) And the shame, was on the other side Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever Then we could be Heroes, just for one dayWe can be HeroesWe can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be HeroesWe’re nothing, and nothing will help usMaybe we’re lying, then you better not stay But we could be safer, just for one dayOh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day
