growing up on the good side of the city
that's where the sun always shines
you get the impression that live is too pretty
and that the world is clean without crimes

he said 'III'
the said 'what do you want to be'
he said 'I want to be a hero and I want to get stoned

but heroes change
and then they put you on a statue just to bring you down
everybody leaves you when another one gest the crown

the perfect picture
gets torn apart
disillusion of the ripped-off-teenage-mind
replace every dream

as you hide...
inside...
as you hide...

but heroes change
and then they put you on a statue just to bring you down
everybody leaves you when another one gest the crown

and everything you stand for, everything you are
you get too many hits in the face, you end up with the scars
love becomes hate. hate becomes your best friend
another hearo goes down

but heroes change
and then they put you on a statue just to bring you down
everybody leaves you when another one gest the crown
heroes change,
heroes change, ...they really do
and then they put you on a statue just to bring you down
everybody leaves you when another one gets the crown

and then they put you on a billboard just to see your smile
everybody loves you for a little moment of their time ... so precious time
