In your wildest dreams he stands before you The upright figure of a national glory The man in the circle came closer towards me Pulled on his belt and tightened his grip Don't be afraid this is a family show I ran through the streets like a power-mad mullah Guns for hire, set your turbans on fire Sad is the land in need of heroes Sad is the land in need of heroes It's so sad when they say how they wish and they will you Warcry Warcry Warcry In my wildest dreams I see a new world coming quickly And I cried out for mercy while you died of blisters Living in the gutter crying for your mother The pope is explosive And witness to fifty years of heavenly seduction Sad is the land in need of heroes Sad is the land in need of heroes It's so sad when they say how they wish and they will you Warcry Warcry Warcry Scream the bleating voice of patriotic babble Warcry Warcry But you're always crashing with your tongue and eyes And you haven't enjoyed the news like this Since 1945 Sad is the land in need of heroes Sad is the land in need of heroes It's so sad when they say how they wish and they will you Warcry Warcry Warcry Warcry
