Exijo Ser Un Héroe
Los Prisioneros
I Demand to Be a Hero
Monday, Tuesday (Exi)
The streets seen from high windows all look the same
Kicking stones and collecting coins, I'm just a simple auditor
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday on the subway walls
The subway every day, that's me
I don't go out, I'm going to bed, I'm tired of walking
Life is so expensive, so boring
I'm not willing to keep living my days in darkness
Being just another face in the crowd is enough already
So many guys posing in magazines and I don't shine even in my family
Life is expensive and boring to just throw away
It's true, I can't be a heartthrob
Nor do I have the solemn air of an intellectual
I live with my family and I don't do drugs, as you see I'm not much of an artist
But I'll be on stages and in the photos of the papers
I demand to be a hero
I demand, I demand to be a hero
I demand to be a hero
I demand, I demand to be a hero
I see the stars on the covers
With clothes and airs so strange I'm not so sure they're real
I'm just a regular neighbor, no disguises as you see I'm not much of an artist
But I'll be in the stadiums and on the charts of the radios
I demand to be a hero
I demand, I demand to be a hero
I demand to be a hero
I demand, I demand to be a hero
