We Don’t Need Another Hero Lyrics
Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children, the last generation
We are the ones they left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
And, I wonder when we are ever gonna change
Living under the fear, ’til nothing else remains
[Chorus]
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
The thunderdome
[Verse 2]
Looking for something we can rely on
There’s gotta be something better out there
Love and compassion
Their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change
Living under the fear, 'til nothing else remains
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
The thunderdome
[Bridge]
So, what do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a light
Or end in the dark
Is it all or nothing?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
The thunderdome
[Chorus]
All the children say
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
The thunderdome

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
As a songwriter who learned by listening, I can’t read music. I don’t know almost any of the scholastic part of music. But if I can remember the melody of a song, like I did this one, I can usually decipher from memory what the chord sequence is—because there’s usually not too many to choose from. But with this Tina Turner song, I couldn’t really decipher what the third chord was in the chorus. And that’s because it’s actually just two. That’s why it sounds like it does. When I figured it out, I was like, ‘Motherfucker! So smart.’ And that was the push for me. I wanted to formulate this into a bigger, more hard-rocking song because it’s so good and so well-written.
