Sparks - Little Guy from the Suburbs lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm just a little guy from the suburbs Who learned to k** before the others Romantic activist, I'm the joker I say, "Vive le Québec libre" [Pre-Chorus] But if you hear this, no, when you hear this You'll know I didn't, I didn't make it like I hoped we would I didn't make it like I hoped we would I didn't make it like I hoped we would But you know, you know, yes, you know [Chorus] No heroes Just those who care more for their legend than their life There are no heroes in this life [Verse 2] I tried, yes, I tried, with a shy girl To live respectably, but decided Fake existentialist, I'm the martyr Steal from the bank of Jean-Paul Sartre [Pre-Chorus] But if you hear this, no, when you hear this You'll know I didn't, I didn't make it like I hoped we would I didn't make it like I hoped we would I didn't make it like I hoped we would But you know, you know, yes, you know [Chorus] No heroes Just those who care more for their legend than their life There are no heroes in this life [Bridge] [Verse 3] I am the little guy from the suburbs But I learned to k** better than the others What's that you said about execution? Oh, bring on the beatification [Pre-Chorus] But if you hear this, no, when you hear this You'll know I didn't, I didn't make it like I hoped we would I didn't make it like I hoped we would I didn't make it like I hoped we would But you know, you know, yes, you know [Outro] No heroes And I don't care For my legend or my life There are no heroes in this life
