[Verse 1]
You, you will be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
’Cause we're lovers, yeah, that is a fact
Yes, we're lovers, and that is that

[Chorus]
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them forever and ever
Yeah, we can be heroes, just for one day
What do you say?

[Verse 2]
I, I wish I could swim
Like dolphins, like the dolphins can swim

[Chorus]
Though nothing will keep us together
Oh, we can beat them forever and ever
We can be heroes, just for one day
What do you say?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
And I, I will be king
And you, you will be my queen
[Chorus]
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
Yeah, we can be heroes forever and ever

[Verse 4]
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, standing by the wall (By the wall)
And the guns, the guns shot above our heads (Over our heads)
And we kissed as though nothing could fall (Nothing could fall)

[Chorus]
And the shame, it fell on the other side
We can beat that forever and ever
We can be heroes, just for one day
What do you say? I say

[Bridge]
We can be heroes
(We can be heroes)
(We can be heroes) Just for one day
We can be heroes

[Outro]
Though nothing and no one will help us
Maybe we’re lying, then you better not stay
We can be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
