People have expectations of a man in your position 2)

They want you to carry some torch into the public view

Voyeurs of this world, ignoring your beautiful words 2)

Say they want you to survive, but they demand this madness of you
[Chorus 1:]
Why should you be the one ...
[Verse:]
I love your music and I love your songs, I love the wild things in your head
I want you here with us, helping us to stick to this mad place
But for so many years now this habit's been forming and so many others have
failed
You made friends with that devil, now he feels a little kinder to face
[Chorus 2:]
Why should you be the one ...
[Verse:]
I think of the young ones who make their way home through the night after
one of your shows
Their lives a little richer for having been touched by you
They day dance and they sweat and they call out your name, the exitement
just belts out and flows
You've been singing your guts out, is that not enough to do?
[Chorus 1:]
Why should you be the one ...
Why should you be the one ...
Why should you be the one ...
|Am |% |C |% |Em (ring... )
Do you really want to be another dead hero?
