Lyrics

[Chorus]

Let me go

I don't wanna be your hero

I don't wanna be a big man

Just wanna fight with everyone else

Your masquerade

I don't wanna be a part of your parade

Everyone deserves a chance to

Walk with everyone else

[Verse 1]

While holding down

A job to keep my girl around

And maybe buy me some new strings

And her, a night out on the weekend

[Verse 2]

And we can whisper things

Secrets from our American dreams

Baby needs some protection

But I'm a kid like everyone else

[Chorus]

So let me go

I don't wanna be your hero

I don't wanna be a big man

I just wanna fight like everyone else

[Chorus]

So let me go

I don't wanna be your hero

I don't wanna be a big man

I just wanna fight with everyone else

Your masquerade

I don't wanna be a part of your parade

Everyone deserves a chance to

Walk with everyone else
