Last night I woke up from a dream I was running

Down the boardwalk shore and the bomb was coming

Bobby De Niro was talking in my sleep

About a tidal wave coming, wash the shit off the street

Is it true, is it coming

But I ain't running

Some way to go, but I'm bound to be free

There ain't no heroes

Everybody's scared

You hear me talking

Or don't you care



Ba-ba-bomb they're gonna tear it all down

Blow it all up can we stop it now

I don't know and you don't care

What goes on over there



Comes into plain view I'm the same as any other

Being robbed by a television monitor

It was just my imagination running away from me

I see wrong and I see right, but that's not all I want to see

Cut out the shutters and the propaganda mutters

Start into fighting from here to eternity

There ain't no heroes

Everybody's scared

You hear me talking

But you don't care



I see a rainbow coming over the casino

Sunshine reflecting on a soldier's machine gun

A warm summer storm falling on the ghetto

And millions of flowers growing over the graves

Cut out the shutters and the speech writer stutters

Start into fighting down here for eternity

There ain't no heroes

Everybody's scared

You hear me talking

But you don't care



No heroes

No war heroes

Everybody's scared

Do the war
