Lyrics:

I know you read between the lines
When them up there say its all fine
Then break your back from nine to five
To keep your two point four alive
Well its Hymns for a Sunday
And its booze for a Monday
And dreamers thinking one day
It will all be taken care of

(Youre a hero)
Zero, zero, zero
Rather be Valentino
Well dont run away stay here and play
Twentieth century hero

Well I know youre never influenced
By craze or fashions zoo caress
You didnt buy that car to show
The guy next door where he can go
Where your grass is the greenest
And your life saccharinest
Well your beach aint the cleanest
It will all be taken care of

(Youre a hero)
Zero, hero, zero
Cap in hand Valentino
Well I hope you know I love you so
Twentieth century hero

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

Twentieth century hero you
Believe what you believe is true
Opinion polls, who gives a damn
Look Errol Flynn now theres a man
With the price of the harvest
Is swept under the carpet
And the big ones fall the hardest
It will all be taken care of

(Youre a hero)
Dero, Dero, Dero
Vanity Valentino
Well youre gonna be the death of me
Twentieth century hero

Hero, hero, hero
Vanity Valentino
Well youre gonna be the death of me
Twentieth century hero
