We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)

Tina Turner · Best Of The Breeze [2011]

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

And I wonder when we are ever going to change

Living under the fear 'till nothing else remains



We don't need another hero

We don't need to know the way home

All we want is life beyond thunderdome



Looking for something, we can rely on.

There's got to be something better out there.

Love and compassion

That day is coming

All else are castles built in the air



And I wonder when we are ever going to change

Living under the fear 'till nothing else remains



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



So, what do we do withour lives?

We leave all things (about) ??.

Will our story shine like a light?

Or end in the dark?

Is it all or nothing?



We don't need another hero

We don't need to know the way home

All we want is life beyond thunderdome



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 thunderdome
