Hey hey boys, won't you hold the line
We've been down here a long, long time
Big wheels turning, I don't know why
I stand here to defy

Hey hey boys, bravery on my mind
My head's been splittin' from this nine to five
When the grind knocks me to my feet
These are the words that I repeat, now

I'll be a hero in my own time
I'll be a hero in my own time
If I stand, I know I'll shine
I'll be a hero in own, in my own time

Hey hey boys workin' on the line
We work metal to survive
But day to day pressure on my soul
I have to scream when it's out of control, now

I'll be a hero in my own time
I'll be a hero in my own time
If I stand, I know I'll shine
I'll be a hero in own, in my own time

Hey hey boys, hear the wistle blow
A hard day's done and it's time to go
As I walk out to the streets
Crack a beer and my mind repeats, now

I'll be a hero in my own time
I'll be a hero in my own time
If I stand, I know I'll shine
I'll be a hero in own, in my own time

Oh yeah
(Ah) I'll be a hero
(Oh yeah) In my own time
(Ah) I'll be a hero
(Oh yeah) In my own time
(Ah) I'll be a hero
(Oh yeah) I'll be a hero
I'll be a hero in my own time
