Nobody's Hero Lyrics - Counterparts - Rush

I knew he was different in his sexuality 

I went to his parties as a straight minority 

It never seemed a threat to my masculinity 

He only introduced me to a wider reality 

As the years went by, we drifted apart 

When I heard that he was gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart 

But he's nobody's Hero: 

Saves a drowning child, 

Cures a wasting disease 

Hero: 

Lands the crippled airplane, 

Solves great mysteries 

Hero: 

Not the handsome actor 

Who plays a hero's role 

Hero: not the glamor girl 

Who'd love to sell her soul 

If anybody's buying Nobody's hero

I didn't know the girl, but I knew her family 

All their lives were shattered 

in a nightmare of brutality 

They try to carry on, try to bear the agony 

Try to hold some faith in the goodness of humanity 

As the years went by, we drifted apart 

When I heard that she was gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart 

But she's nobody's Hero: 

Is the voice of reason 

Against the howling mob 

Hero: 

Is the pride of purpose 

In the unrewarding job 

Hero: 

not the champion player 

Who plays the perfect game 

Hero: 

Not the glamor boy 

Who loves to sell his name 

Everybody's buying 

Nobody's hero

As the years went by, we drifted apart 

When I heard that you were gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart 

But he's nobody's Hero: 

Saves a drowning child 

Cures a wasting disease 

Hero: 

Lands the crippled airplane, 

Solves great mysteries 

Hero: 

Not the handsome actor 

Who plays a hero's role 

Hero: not the glamor girl 

Who'd love to sell her soul 

If anybody's buying Nobody's hero 

Nobody's hero

Nobody's hero
