[Verse 1]
You can make somethin' out of nothin', my friend
Make yourself a little bit of money to spend
You can sing your song everybody knows

[Verse 2]
You can walk in with the skinniest girl
You can carve your initials all over the world
Put on your best big rock-n-roll pose

[Chorus]
What are you? Some kind of hero, doin' everything that you can?
You think that everybody's watchin', but nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn

[Verse 3]
You can walk a wire and you don't need a net
You're the best damn thing that they haven't seen yet
Give 'em a chance to fall in love with you

[Verse 4]
You can sing a tune to a million or two
Have your name at the top of the list of who's-who
It don't mean nothin' when the rent is due

[Chorus]
What are you? Some kind of hero, doin' everything that you can?
You think that everybody's watchin', but nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn
[Bridge]
Nobody cares what you do or say
They'll forget about you anyway
Don't you worry, it's a waste of time
Take your number and get back in line

[Chorus]
What are you? Some kind of hero, doin' everything that you can?
You think that everybody's love you, but nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn
