They asked you if you're alright,
You say yes,
But all the time you know,
It's a fucking mess,
It's 5 pm and you're on your way home,
Just another day with that endless grey drone.
Three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
Drag yourself along the road,
Sit on the bus,
Switch on your transistor,
Cause a fuss,
It's 11 pm and you're on your way home,
Just another night with that endless grey drone.
Three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
I want to be, I want to be, I want to be,
What? a three minute hero,
Three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
A three minute hero, I want to be,
A three minute hero, I want to be,
A three minute hero, I want to be,
A three minute hero,
It's too early in the morning,
Stupid job,
Don't want to eat, can't think straight,
Same as yesterday,
It's 7 am and you're leaving home,
Just another day with that endless grey drone,
Three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
I want to be, a three minute hero,
A three minute hero, I want to be,
