A Hero Loses Everyday Songtext

von Silverstein

Hey, I’ve lost everything. Now, I’ve gotta find a way out.
Hey, they keep asking me where I was when it was burning.
There’s no trying to explain, they’ll lock me up again. Throw away the key.
The protagonist became the villain they disdain in every way.

Hey, I’ve lost everything. But I’m gonna find a way out.
Hey nothing’s left for me except malady and hatred.
No evidence was found; they’ll let me go for now at least ’til tomorrow.

Hey, when tomorrow brings the morning sun again. I’ll be long gone.
Now, as I drive away and leave the past behind, I think I’m dying.

It’s so pathetic, I hate you so much but I still miss you.
Karma is hard to change when everything you do and say is awful.
Remorse is hard to fake when you only feel sorry for yourself.
I’m coughing up more blood, it’s filling up my lungs, it’s killing me.

Hey, when tomorrow brings the morning sun again. I’ll be long gone.
Dead, lying all alone on this motel room floor, I know I’m dying.

Hey, I’ve lost everything. Now I’ve succumbed to grace.
Hey, it’s not that surprising. A hero loses everyday.
