Hero Blues

by Bob Dylan 

  Yes, the gal I got 
  I swear she's the screaming end 
  She wants me to be a hero 
  So she can tell all her friends 

  Well, she begged, she cried 
  She pleaded with me all last night 
  Well, she begged, she cried 
  She pleaded with me all last night 
  She wants me to go out 
  And find somebody to fight 

  She reads too many books 
  She got new movies inside her head 
  She reads too many books 
  She got movies inside her head 
  She wants me to walk out running 
  She wants me to crawl back dead 

  You need a different kinda man, babe 
  One that can grab and hold your heart 
  Need a different kind of man, babe 
  One that can hold and grab your heart 
  You need a different kind of man, babe 
  You need Napoleon Boneeparte 

  Well, when I'm dead 
  No more good times will I crave 
  When I'm dead 
  No more good times will I crave 
  You can stand and shout hero 
  All over my lonesome grave
