[Verse 2 :]
I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself
Em
..I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left
Em
..I fight pain and hurricanes, today I wept
Em
..I'm tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps
Em
..Life a living Hell, puddles of blood in the streets
Em
..Shooters on top of the building, government aiding relief
Em
..Earthquake, the body drop, the ground breaks
Em
The poor one with smoke lungs and Scarface
Em
..Who need a hero? ( hero )
D
You need a hero, look in the mirror,
there go he, hero
C
Who on the front lines at Ground Zero? ( hero )
D
My heart don't skip a beat,
even when hard times bumps the needle
Em
Mass destruction and mass corruption
D
Their souls are sufferin' men
C
Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is coming
It's all prophecy and if I gotta be
D
Sacrificed for the greater good
Then that's what it gotta be
[REPEAT CHORUS :]======
