When your heart's pumpin' man is sayin' You gotta fight or die Don't wanna be a hero, no But it's too late for cover An open road Don't wanna be a hero, no no no But it's too late for cover Fightin' each other In a line of fire It's a hard way to run, run in a gun In a line of fire It's a hard way to run, run in a gun
