I can't believe that it was good for anyone
To be worth the wait
I tried to send you with your money's worth
And the attention sure felt great
With all eyes upon me
Some filled with tears but most couldn't see

It burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me
Creep from the cradle, but a hero's what I wanna be
Keep it moving people 'cause there's nothing more for you to see
I'm just a jerk, but a hero's what I wanna be
Yeah, oh yeah

Love me, love me, sweet cowardice
Now that the thrill is mine for the moment
We really didn't need another suicide
Or a song explaining why, it's not dignified
But I can't seem to kiss it goodbye

It burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me
Creep from the cradle, but a hero's what I wanna be
Keep it moving people 'cause there's nothing more for you to see
I'm just a jerk, but a hero's what I wanna be
Yeah, oh yeah

It burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me
Creep from the cradle, but a hero's what I wanna be
Keep it moving people 'cause there's nothing more for you to see
I'm just a jerk, but a hero's what I wanna be
Erase this disaster even faster than you came to see
A creep from the cradle and a hero-driven wannabe
For your abuse, but not intended for internal use
I'm just a jerk, but a hero's what I wanna be

It burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me
Creep from the cradle but a hero's what I wanna be
Yeah, oh yeah
