Full Lyrics:

A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes

In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know

(Solo)

In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place for me

No Picture Ricky Rhythm Player	#1 by Ricky Cribb at Dec 26, 1978 at 3:28 PM EST
	In the music video, Gene cries.

No Picture steve Wanna Be	#2 by steve hoffmann at Oct 24, 1988 at 12:14 AM EST
	the final nail in KISS'S coffin

No Picture Sawyer Rhythm Player	#3 by Sawyer Hildebrandt at Oct 10, 1991 at 9:23 PM EST
	phrrt. Really? He cries in the vid? wow Gene, although he is the most stubborn, greedy fucked up bastard whos shagged more people than you can count. He is a fun guy, likes to have a laugh and is...well...the Demon

No Picture More Cowbell Lead Player	#4 by More Cowbell at Jan 13, 1993 at 7:48 PM EST
	Considering Kiss is my favorite, I love everything by them. But this is a really odd song for Gene Simmons to do but it is great and very meaningful.
