Song lyrics

Send "My Hero" ringtones to your cell

Too alarming now to talk about. 
Take those pictures down and shake it out. 
Truth or consequence, say it aloud. 
Use that evidence, race it around. 

There goes my hero, 
Watch him as he goes. 
There goes my hero, 
He's ordinary! 

Don't the best of them bleed it out, 
While the rest of them peter out? 
Truth or consequence, say it aloud. 
Use that evidence, race it around. 

There goes my hero, 
Watch him as he goes. 
There goes my hero, 
He's ordinary! 

*Kudos* my hero, 
Leaving all the mess. 
You know my hero, 
The one that's on. 

There goes my hero, 
Watch him as he goes. 
There goes my hero, 
He's ordinary!

6 posts	as a huge foos fan, it's my favourite foos song, but i recomend the acoustic version of the song if you can find it. yeh it lacks the cutting edge of taylor on the drums, but is a great track

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this song i have to say is one of the best foo fighters songs i've heard. yes indeed this song was written by dave the drummer(previously for nirvana). he wrote this soon after kurt cobains death.

9 posts	This is definatly my fave foo fighters song, kurt woulda loved it. I have an inkling that the correct lyrics are "kudos my hero" instead of "who knows my hero" but can't for the life of me recall where i read that, probably dreamt it. Anyways, i've listened to this track a million time and it still makes me wanna cry. Dave Grohl rocks!

16 posts	this song IS NOT about kurt cobain, it seems like it but it isnt, Dave stated Howard stern, this song wasnt about kurt cobain. and wen he says "kudos my hero" its not Ku(rt)Do(nald)s (kurt donald is kurt cobains first and middle name), dave grohl said that this song was dedicated to his heros as a child which were ordinary people
