American Hero by Hans Gruber and the Die Hards Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2019

Wandering through the streets, I first saw it on the news
They told us with a straight face, “don't panic now it's just a few”
And I've watched enough movies to know
They're all about to lose control, welcome to the horror show

Then I spotted one with my own eyes
She was blending in with a red hat, but I saw right through the lies
Never shot a gun before, I never took a punch
But I'm sure as hell not gonna sit around and be somebody's lunch

The plague has spread
The time has come to shoot ‘em all in the head

I'm a great American hero
Just like Grandpa did on D-Day
I'm a great American hero
We're anti-zombie USA

Well, it didn't take long to spread throughout the heartland
Those morons had it coming, but it's not too late to take a stand
Take to the streets, comrade answer my call
And now we know for sure that the Russians were behind it all
Why won’t anyone else take this threat seriously?
I know they look normal, but they're not the same as you and me
Fear not, for I am here to save the day
I'm the hero no one asked for, but I'm fighting for you anyway

I'm a great American hero
Just like Grandpa did on D-Day
I'm a great American hero
We're anti-zombie USA
I'm a great American hero
Steve Rogers slug ‘em all in the face
I'm a great American hero
We're anti-zombie USA

Shoot first! Think never!

Now, the armies of darkness have conquered the whole town
You gave peace a chance, but in war there is no middle ground
There's blood on your hands and you're the one to blame
You cowered behind your morals when the enemy came

As I stare into the abyss I finally see
Come to think I'm feeling rather hungry
I bite into your neck and rip apart your face
I'll do it all again so I can save the human race
