An iron fist quietly sits inside the velvet glove
take control, untouchable just like god above
i can't escape, wrapped in red tape, what will become of me?
if i object, then i defect my country 'tis of thee
The white house is calling
tell them i'll call them back
just tell them anything
yeah get them off my back
The world needs a hero
Not that i would ever lie but i have no choice
words i say heard today are not mine, just my voice
Nato is on line 1
they want to talk to me
tell them that i'm not in
tell them that i'm not free
The world needs a hero
Phantom rule, the hidden jewel who's really in control?
on puppet strings, a nation swings undermined by moles
The un is on hold
tell them i'll call them back
yeah tell them anything
just get them off my back
The world needs a hero
Dave the white house is calling
they want to talk to me
tell them that i can't be bought
tell them that i'm not free
The world needs a hero
