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
