[Verse 1]
Well, they’re selling another messiah here tonight
But we’re all way too numb and divided to buy it
Singing (no, no, no)
We are all too divided this time
(No, no, no)

[Chorus]
Show me a leader that won’t compromise
Show me a leader so hope never dies
(We need a hero this time)
(No, no, no)

[Verse 2]
Disillusioned and tired of waiting for the one
Whose intentions are pure unpersuaded, we can trust
Singing (no, no, no)
Cause a promise is never enough
(No, no, no)

[Chorus]
Show me a leader that won’t compromise
Show me a leader so hope never dies
(We need a hero this time)

[Bridge]
I know, I know, I know if we’re to survive
We need to know this is not the end
How will we ever get by
It’s getting harder to fight out here on our own
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Show me a leader that won’t compromise
Show me a leader so hope never dies
Show me a leader that knows what is right
Show me a leader so hope can survive

[Outro]
We need a hero this time (No)
(No) We need a hero this time (No)
Or we will never survive (No)
(No) We need a hero this time (No)
Or we will never survive
