You read about it in the paper
You hear about it on the news
The hero's in town
You never know who called him

And there's nothing you can do
The hero's in town
Flying overhead and he's fixing things as new

The hero's in town
People worship on a daily basis
Before dinner in the afternoon
The hero's in town
Yeah, the hero's in town

Sure come in handy, a hero in town
He's offering candy to everyone
Oh, what a guy
You better sleep with a gun
The hero is in town

So look up at the sky, my friend
Is it safe enough to go out there?
The hero's in town

So should we trust or loathe him?
Should we break or take his hand?
The hero's in town

He's leaning on his golden cane
He gives away free hurricanes
The hero's in town

For god and money devil's fight
Religion holds a beast inside
The hero's in town
Yeah, the hero's in town

Sure come in handy, a hero in town
He's offering candy to everyone
What good are heroes in this mixed up world?

Load us up another free, free world
Free world
Load us up another free, free world
Free world

Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey wants, so it comes straight through
Small talk travels quicker
Than the truth can tie its shoes

Sure come in handy, a hero in town
He's offering candy to everyone
Oh, what a guy

You better sleep with a gun
'Cause the hero is in for money
He's in for money
