I, I will be king 
And you, you will be queen 
Though nothing will drive them away 
We can beat them, just for one day 
We can be Heroes, just for one day 
 
And you, you can be mean 
And I, I'll drink all the time 
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact 
Yes we're lovers, and that is that 
 
Though nothing, will keep us together 
We could steal time,  
just for one day 
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever 
What d'you say? 
 
I, I wish you could swim 
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim 
Though nothing, 
nothing will keep us together 
We can beat them, for ever and ever 
Oh we can be Heroes,  
just for one day 
 
I, I will be king 
And you, you will be queen 
Though nothing will drive them away 
We can be Heroes, just for one day 
We can be us, just for one day 
 
I, I can remember (I remember) 
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 
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever 
Then we could be Heroes,  
just for one day 
 
We can be Heroes 
We can be Heroes 
We can be Heroes 
Just for one day 
We can be Heroes 
 
We're nothing, and nothing will help us 
Maybe we're lying,  
then you better not stay 
But we could be safer,  
just for one day 
 
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,  
just for one day
