Let me go 
I don't wanna be your hero 
I don't wanna be a big man 
Just wanna fight like everyone else 

Your masquerade 
I don't wanna be a part of your parade 
Everyone deserves a chance to 
Walk with everyone else 

While holding down 
A job to keep my girl around 
And maybe buy me some new strings 
And her and I out on the weekends 

And we can whisper things 
Secrets from my America dreams 
Baby needs some protection 
But I'm a kid like everyone else 

So let me go 
I don't wanna be your hero 
I don't wanna be a big man 
Just wanna fight with everyone else 

So let me go 
I don't wanna be your hero 
I don't wanna be a big man 
Just wanna fight with everyone else 

Your masquerade 
I don't wanna be a part of your parade 
Everyone deserves a chance to 
Walk with everyone else
