Three Minute Hero Songtext
von The Selecter

They ask you if you′re all right
You say, "Yes"
But all the time you know
It's just a fucking mess

It′s 5 p.m. and you're on your way home
Just another day with that endless grey drone

Three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero, yeah

Drag yourself along the road
Sit on the bus
Switch on your transistor
Start causing a fuss

It's 11 p.m. and you′re on your way home
Just another day with that endless grey drone


Three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero, yeah

(I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be)
A three-minute hero

Three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero, yeah

It′s too early in the morning
Stupid job
Don't wanna eat, can′t think straight
Same as yesterday

It's 7 a.m. and you′re leaving home
Just another day with that endless grey drone


Three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero, yeah
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero, yeah
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero, yeah
(I wanna be) a three-minute hero, yeah
(I wanna be) I wanna be

Right, it's ten years since we passed this way last time
And in all that time, the world is more fucked up than it was before
Particularly on your side
So all I can say is, "Every day, things are getting worse"
