Lyrics
The hero is exposed when
His crimes are brought to the light of day
Won't be feeling sorry, sorry, sorry
On the judgement day
Wasn't it me who said (Uh-huh-huh)
There'd be a price to pay
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall (Hero takes a fall)
Woah, no
Your mother told you stories (Uh-huh-huh)
You substitute with girls who tell you more
Suddenly your sycophants are chanting slogans at your door
We're seeing through you now (Uh-huh-huh)
I saw it all before
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall (Hero takes a fall)
No, no
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Emotion is a virtue
For you, it is the one fatal flaw
Sitting on your throne and drinking
Thinking she'll return your call
Every story's got an ending (Uh-huh-huh)
Look out, here it comes, here it comes
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall (Hero takes a fall)
Woah-woah-woah-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
