An iron fist quietly sits inside the velvet glove Take control, untouchable just like God above I can't escape, wrapped in red tape, what will become of me? If I object, then I defect, my country 'tis of thee
The White House is calling Tell them I'll call them back Just tell them anything Yeah, get them off my back
The world needs a hero
Not that I would ever lie but I have no choice Words I say heard today are not mine, just my voice
NATO is on line one They want to talk to me Tell them that I'm not in Tell them that I'm not free
The world needs a hero
Phantom rule, the hidden jewel Who's really in control? On puppet strings, a nation swings Undermined by moles
The UN is on hold Tell them I'll call them back Yeah, tell them anything Just get them off my back
The world needs a hero
Dave, the White House is calling They want to talk to me Tell them that I can't be bought Tell them that I'm not free
