Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I'm just a little guy from the suburbs
Who learned to kill before the others
Romantic activist, I'm the joker
I say, 'Vive le Québec libre'

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you hear this, no, when you hear this
You'll know I didn't, I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
But you know, you know, yes, you know

[Chorus]
No heroes
Just those who care more for their legend than their life
There are no heroes in this life

[Verse 2]
I tried, yes, I tried, with a shy girl
To live respectably, but decided
Fake existentialist, I'm the martyr
Steal from the bank of Jean-Paul Sartre

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you hear this, no, when you hear this
You'll know I didn't, I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
But you know, you know, yes, you know

[Chorus]
No heroes
Just those who care more for their legend than their life
There are no heroes in this life

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
I am the little guy from the suburbs
But I learned to kill better than the others
What's that you said about execution?
Oh, bring on the beatification

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you hear this, no, when you hear this
You'll know I didn't, I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
I didn't make it like I hoped we would
But you know, you know, yes, you know

[Outro]
No heroes
And I don't care
For my legend or my life
There are no heroes in this life
