Lyrics
Well, they're selling another messiah here tonight
But we're all way too numb and divided to buy it
Singing
(No, no, no)
We are all too divided this time
(No, no, no)
Show me a leader that won't compromise
Show me a leader so hope never dies
(We need a hero this time)
(No, no, no)
Disillusioned and tired of waiting for the one
Whose intentions are pure unpersuaded, we can trust
(Unpersuaded)
Singing
(No, no, no)
'Cause a promise is never enough
(No, no, no)
Show me a leader that won't compromise
Show me a leader so hope never dies
(We need a hero this time)
I know, I know
(Whoa-oh-oh)
I know if we're to survive
We need to know this is not the end
(Whoa-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh)
How will we ever get by?
(Whoa-oh-oh)
It's getting harder to fight
Out here on our own
Show me a leader that won't compromise
Show me a leader so hope never dies
Show me a leader that knows what is right
Show me a leader so hope can survive
(We need a hero this time)
(No, no, no)
We need a hero this time
Or we will never survive
(No, no, no)
We need a hero this time
Or we will never survive
