You can make somethin' out of nothin', my friend
Make yourself a little bit of money to spend
You can sing your song everybody knows

You can walk in with the skinniest girl
You can carve your initials all over the world
Put on your best big rock-n-roll pose

What are you? Some kind of hero, doin' everything that you can?
You think that everybody's watchin', but nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn

You can walk a wire and you don't need a mitt
You're the best damn thing that they haven't seen yet
Give 'em a chance to fall in love with you

You can sing a tune to a million or two
Have your name at the top of the list of who's-who
It don't mean nothin' when the rent is due

What are you? Some kind of hero, doin' everything that you can?
You think that everybody's watchin', but nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn

Nobody cares what you do or say
They'll forget about you anyway
Don't you worry, it's a waste of time
Take your number and get back in line

What are you? Some kind of hero, doin' everything that you can?
You think that everybody's love you, but nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn
Nobody gives a damn
