Too alarmin' now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out?
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Kudos, my hero
Leavin' all the best
You know my hero
The one that's on

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

    alright, im not sure where you're getting your info from. yes it sounds like it should be about kurt cobain, we all would like to think that. the fact is, the song is about a hockey player dave grew up watching. i think he was a defenseman for the caps, i cant remember. he was just someone who was ordinary. dont question my loyalty to dave either. i went to the same high school he did (although he left after a couple years to join scream). i have mucho dirt on him.
