Lyrics

They asked you if you're alright
You say yes
But all the time you know
It's a mess
It's 5 p.m. and you're on your way home
Just another day with that endless grey drone
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
Drag yourself along the road
Sit on the bus
Switch on your transistor
Cause a fuss
It's 11 p.m. and you're on your way home
Just another night with that endless grey drone
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
A three minute hero
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
It's too early in the morning
Stupid job
Don't wanna eat, can't think straight
Same as yesterday
It's 7 a.m. and you're leaving home
Just another day with that endless grey drone
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I gotta be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I gotta be
Three-minute hero
I wanna be
Three-minute hero
I gotta be
