Lyrics: Brain Eno Music: David Bowie I, I wish you could swim Like dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing, could drive them away We can beat them, just for one day We can be heroes, just for one day I, I will be king And you, you will be my Queen And they take away for nothing And no one will beat us We can be heroes, just for one day I, I can remember (I remember) Standing, standing by the wall (by the wall) And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads) And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall) And the shame, was on the other side We can beat them, for ever and ever We could be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes We can be heroes We can be heroes We can be heroes Weβ€˜re nothing, and no one will help us Maybe we’re lying, then you better not stay We can be heroes
