He brought the war home with him
He's still got sand in his boots
He's wrestling with the demons
And the cold hard truth
Something ain't right about him
He came back different
Something in his eyes said he'd seen too much
Something in his legs said he'd had enough
Heroes everybody needs heroes
Even heroes need a little help
Heroes can't always be heroes
Who's gonna save the hero from himself
Got a picture from Baghdad, him and his buddies
Just horsing around and getting ready
One by one he watched 'em die
Just scared kids and he don't know why
He's the only one to make it out alive
Heroes everybody needs heroes
Even heroes need a little help
Heroes can't always be heroes
Who's gonna save the hero from himself
10,000 klicks away in his head
He can smell the smoke, he can smell the dead
A siver star and a pistol in a drawer
The morphine just ain't working no more
Heroes everybody needs heroes
Even heroes need a little help
Heroes can't always be heroes
Who's gonna save the hero from himself
