Well, they're selling another messiah here tonight
But we're all way too numb and divided to buy it
Singing (no, no, no)
We are all too divided this time
(No, no, no)

Show me a leader that won't compromise
Show me a leader so hope never dies
(We need a hero this time)
(No, no, no)

Disillusioned and tired of waiting for the one
Whose intentions are pure unpersuaded, we can trust
Singing (no, no, no)
'Cause a promise is never enough
(No, no, no)

Show me a leader that won't compromise
Show me a leader so hope never dies
(We need a hero this time)

I know, I know, I know if we're to survive
We need to know this is not the end
How will we ever get by
It's getting harder to fight out here on our own

Show me a leader that won't compromise
Show me a leader so hope never dies
Show me a leader that knows what is right
Show me a leader so hope can survive

We need a hero this time (No)
(No) We need a hero this time (No)
Or we will never survive (No)
(No) We need a hero this time (No)
Or we will never survive
