We Don´T Need Another Hero
Tina Turner · Other Songs - Tina Turner
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
We Don't Need Another Hero
Tina Turner's 'We Don't Need Another Hero' stands as a powerful testament to female resilience and self-reliance, delivered with her signature vocal intensity. Released during her later career, the track reflects a shift in her artistic narrative, moving away from the romanticized male savior tropes that often defined her earlier work. The song's message of independence resonates deeply, emphasizing that true strength comes from within rather than from external validation or protection. With its driving rhythm and Turner's commanding delivery, the recording captures a moment of profound personal and artistic maturity. It serves as a defining piece in her discography, celebrating the empowerment of women who stand on their own and refuse to rely on others to save them.
