You gonna be another Mr. Hero?

Everything you thought was real
turns into a beauty scene
It all just fades to fake people
doing all they can to look more fake
Your life
boils down to what someone else thinks is right
You're just trapped in the illusion
no one knows you
You can't get through to anyone
because despite popular belief
two minds don't live in unison
So you just keep faking it
day after day after day
And no one has the nerve to step up and change it
so it all lies on you
Everything that will be and will not be
rests in your cradle of decision
But you can't step up to the plate
'cause your choking on the ashes of what's left of your used up burnt up life
Too late to turn back
They're ready to listen
And all the anger and rage you had built up inside
doesn't come out
You just wait to listen
because you've never been told how to lead
Make the choice quick
Are you gonna end up like every other hero?
Bruised and fading
because you're all used up and not needed anymore
Or are you gonna kill off the political scene cats, the activists without a clue,
and change it into something new
Something real
that means something to the world
Something that we can still feel
You gonna save us mr. hero?
You just gonna be another no show?
Make a choice.
It's your call.
Just remember, always, you could change it all.
