Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] "The White House is calling." Tell 'em I'll call them back Just tell 'em anything Yeah, get 'em off my back [Post-Chorus] (The world needs a hero) [Verse 2] Not that I would ever lie But I have no choice Words I say heard today Are not mine, just my voice [Chorus 2] "NATO is on line one." They wanna talk to me? Tell 'em that I'm not in Tell 'em that I'm not free [Post-Chorus] The world needs a hero The world needs a hero [Verse 3] Phantom rule, the hidden jewel Who's really in control? On puppet strings, a nation swings Undermined by moles [Chorus 3] "The UN is on hold." Tell 'em I'll call 'em back Yeah, tell 'em anything Just get 'em off my back [Post-Chorus] The world needs a hero The world needs a hero [Instrumental Break] [Chorus 4] "Dave, the White House is calling." They wanna talk to me? Tell 'em that I can't be bought Tell 'em that I'm not free [Outro] The world needs a hero (Ha! Yeah) The world needs a hero (The world needs a hero) The world needs a hero (I've got to, got to, got to find a hero) The world needs a hero (Ohh, ahh-ohh)
