Superchick - Hero Lyrics






No one sits with him, he doesn't fit in
But we feel like we do when we make fun of him
Cause you want to belong, do you go along?
Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong
It's not like you hate him or want him to die
But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide
Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side
And a kindness from you might have saved his life

[Tag:]
Heroes are made when you make a choice

[Chorus:]
You could be a hero - heroes do what's right
You could be a hero - you might save a life
You could be a hero - you could join the fight
For what's right, for what's right, for what's right

No one talks to her, she feels so alone
She's in too much pain to survive on her own
The hurt she can't handle overflows to a knife
She writes on her arm and wants to give up her life
Each day she goes on is a day that she's brave
Fighting the lie that giving up is the way
Each moment of courage her own life she saves
When she throws the pills out a hero is made

[Tag]

[Chorus]

No one talks to him about how he lives
He thinks that the choices he makes are just his
Doesn't know he's the leader with the way he behaves
And others will follow the choices he's made
He lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide
His brother who wants to be him is just nine
He can do what he wants because it's his right
The choices he makes change a nine-year-old's life

[Tag]

[Chorus]

[Rap]
Little Mikey D. was the one in class who everyday got brutally harassed
This went on for years until he decided that never again would he shed another tear
So he walked through the door, grabbed a four-four out of his father's dresser drawer
And said I can't take life no more
And like that life can be lost
But this ain't even about that
All of us just sat back and watched it happen
Thinkin' it's not my responsibility to solve a problem that isn't even about me
This is our problem
This is just one of the daily scenarios which we choose to close our eyes
Instead of doing the right thing
If we make a choice and be the voice for those who won't speak up for themselves
How many lives would be saved, changed, and rearranged
Now it's our time to pick a side
So don't keep walkin' by
Not wantin' to intervene
'cause you wanna exist and never be seen
So let's wake up and change the world
Our time is now

[Chorus:]
You could be a hero (our time is now)
Heroes do what's right
You could be a hero (our time is now)
You might save a life
You could be a hero, you could join the fight (our time is now)
For what's right, for what's right

    RIP Reb and Vodka.

  2. A.... W....

    I'm so tired of it all. I just want to die. I know that will cause pain to some people but I just can't live anymore. There is happy times I have but even when I'm happy I still want to die. I don't mind dying. I don't mind someone killing me.

    But I'm too weak to commit suicide. I'm too weak to cut myself. I'm scared of hurting the ones I love.

    So I bare with the pain.

    But soon my mask will officially fall off. And I'll be happy it did.

  3. C.... A....

    Wow so sad

    I think there are plenty of shootings this video could have been better tributed too honestly. Colombine wasn't a result of anything like the lyrics suggest

  5. P.... P....

    2019 & this song is just as heartbreaking 💔

  6. M.... L....

    One my favorites.

  7. N.... N....

    Right now I'm being bullied in my group home. Most people ask why I just don't leave and I respond that I don't want to end up living under a bridge. This girl has trashed my room, stole my stuff, ruined my baked goods and punched me twice in the face. Its not just me, she's sexually harassing two others and....I know how that feels. I was molested by both my adoptive father and adoptive brother. Yet I can't do shit because she's 15 and I'm 19. Please I need advice on how to deal with this.

  8. G.... ....

    ok, but I don't think a little friends and kindness would've prevented Columbine. I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert on the whole psychology of the boys who shot up a high school and killed 15 INNOCENT people, but really, saying that no one was there for them and somewhat implying that the massacre was someone else's fault, is downright disgusting.

    G.... ....

    From what I've heard the kids were actually pretty popular and never got bullied... I don't know if it's true but if it is there isn't really any excuse other than awful mental health.

    G.... ....

    @Armourdillo 12 yes they were bullied, pretty badly actually. But also they didnt choose their mental disorders. It wasnt their fault

    G.... ....

    @Jordan hates you https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2019/04/19/bullies-black-trench-coats-columbine-shootings-most-dangerous-myths/

    This article claims that the fact they were bullied was false, and all other articles I've read state that one of the two was very popular. I'm not American and haven't really felt I need to do much research on the topic which is why I originally said that's that's just something I had heard.

    No people obviously don't get to choose their mental illness and I never said they did. But that line of thinking is pretty dangerous anyway, that would suggest crimes that are considered unthinkable, rape, murder, and the like are all not the person committing it's fault, and that you can just blame mental illness instead.

    The fact is these kids planned an attack that should have kill many hundreds of people, if everyone with depression is going to be forgiven for carrying out something like that that then there are going to be issues.

    It was their fault, and if it wasn't, then how can anything bad someone does ever be considered that person's fault?

  9. S.... F....

    Tbh i saved my bf from a monster... She was molesting him online and we both had enough. Im so fucking proud of myself

  10. J.... S....

    Podia passar o massacre de columbine na globo, aí eu queria ver a audiência KKK

  11. D.... B....

    dylan needed a savior- eric was a lost cause. he won't be missed.

    D.... B....

    Eric had mental illnesses too

  12. B.... L....

    If he would’ve put down the gun those kids would be alive

  13. S.... H....

    The song is still relevant to this day

  14. d.... y....

    good song

  15. C.... M....

    My real dad molested me 3 times and im living with my step dad and my mom now

  16. Z.... M....

    Zoinks! This song's message sounds much worse worse in 2019's America. I get this is well-meaning, but dang.

  17. J.... S....

    Música forte mesmo da vontade de morrer kkkk

  18. J.... S....

    E mesmo temos que lidar com os problemas da vida antes de morrer e ninguém mais lembrar de nós ... Kk

  19. M.... J....

    I’m sorry ... I love this song and I agree that we shouldn’t bully but just because you are bullied doesn’t mean you are going to even dream about shooting up a school... those boys choose to plan out and carry out one of the most horrific school shootings in modern day history

  20. r.... l....

    Amo muito essa música.

  21. J.... S....

    Muito boa a música

    J.... S....

    Sim. É incrível. A mensagem que essa música passa é emocionante. Esse vídeo é um homenagem as vítimas do massacre de columbine. 😢.

    J.... S....

    @rubem lausen eu vi o vídeo do massacre MT triste

  22. L.... W....

    I heard this when I was in middle school and I felt inspired.
    I listen today and I want to cry.

    It’s so weird how the chorus used to influence me the most and now, grown up, its the verses and rap.

  23. M.... G....

    Hmmm no. Eric and Dylan weren't victims who got pushed too far. Look it up. While there were instances of bullying they weren't outcasts as they had a close knit group of friends. Eric was what I would consider to be a sociopath who was quick to anger, thought of most people as not worth associating with and would brag about his ability to deceive people. Dylan had some anger problems but seemed to go along with Eric. He was also an intelligent human being capable of making his own decisions. They weren't backed into a corner with no way out but shooting innocent people. Eric was a violent homicidal sociopath and Dylan was just fine with going along with it. Don't glorify killers. That's not what heroes do.

    M.... G....

    True. I heard this song, and it just made me really angry. I used to buy into that "oh, they're just bullied kids who got pushed too far," when I was younger and then I realized I was an idiot. I believe people can change, but I don't care what you've been through. I don't care how horrible. You have no right to do something like shoot up a damn school.


    Also, there's a comment below me saying that they wish they could shoot up their school and their "bullies." And I suppose they want us to feel bad for them or perhaps just being edgy and wanting attention. Still, you can't deny that this, not compassionate, but glamorized response to school shooters encourages this kind of thinking, right? Like it's justified to shoot up a school if you're "just killing the bullies"


    Teenagers are dumbasses and they do mean shit. I've been a bully when I was young and stupid. Do I deserve to die? People have bullied me, and yeah, I get angry, but I would never wish death upon them. I have compassion for the victims, and I have compassion for the shooters because they must be truly fucked up to do something so horrible. But feeling compassionate and defending them, even to go so far as to blame the victims of the shooting for being "bullies" which they weren't even in this situation, are two different things.


    Also, just imagine surviving something like this, and maybe knowing these kids personally. Maybe, you were kind to them. Maybe, you didn't notice them. Maybe, you weren't always as nice as you should have been, and then they go and kill your friends, your teachers, your family, and people blame them and call them bullies, the DEAD KIDS who cannot DEFEND themselves? Where is their goddamn sappy song?

  24. K.... 6....

    This song makes me cry. I wanna shoot up my bullies. I want them to suffer for what they did to me... I would only just shoot my bullies and they siblings (aka the whole school :'D ;-;)

  25. B.... J....

    2019 right after El paso …...somehow my brain saves this song and after 12 years im still singing it

    man that intro is still catchy though

  26. M.... A....

    Still gives me chills and tears in 2019 because nothing has changed.

  27. C.... S....

    What a powerful song, god bless xx

  28. G.... T....

    This song save my life Manny years ago I had to look up again after talk about high school with a friend and our different phase we had this song pot in my head and how just listened to it i knew my life would be better I know thier a Christian band but they allowed me to face the truth and helped me come out and live to be the real me

  29. s.... ....

    I used to listen to this song all the time when I was 8 freak I can’t believe I almost forgot about this beautiful gem

  30. D.... J....

    It's funny

    2017: School Shooting? That's so sad!
    2018: Another school shooting? What state hasn't been hit yet?
    2019: School Shooting's the norm.

    Am I the only one that understands why people get desensitized but still gets aggravated by it?

  31. M.... B....

    Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Columbine shooting.

  32. d.... J....

    its been so many years since i last listened to this. im still crying

  33. g.... ....

    Could have done without the rap.

  34. T.... O....

    The second verse hits me the hardest, because sometimes, we are forced to be our own heroes. Life isn't a fairy tale, but we're managing.
    Stay strong!

  35. A.... P....

    Such a slept on song. Loved this so much much when I was 11, still do. Been so long since I heard it.

  36. P.... S....

    I know why they bully; it’s the same reason we all have; a lack of self worth and confidence; the bullies NEED someone to crush underfoot to convince themselves of how “strong” and “powerful” they are.
    It feels GOOD to them, the feeling of that level of control when they ruin other people’s lives so they can feel better about themselves in comparison!
    And of course they will deny what you say about them being cruel and miserable people; they’ve been lying to themselves about who they really are, what good will it do coming from a parent or a teacher they don’t even respect?
    And I’m afraid to say this, but I believe the only way these people can see that what they are doing is wrong is putting them in front of a mirror- that is to say start treating them like they treat others, and they will see that that cruelty goes both ways, and that there’s always someone bigger and way higher on the acceptance bar than they are.
    I just hope one day they wake up and see it not “Survival of the Fittest”
    It’s “We are all in this TOGETHER”

  37. w.... ....

    I can see that their issues are hurting them even if I'm unclear what the issue is and I do understand depression suicide and I do understand bully lead to suicide but unlike me the peoples who get bully abuse they have a future ahead of them therefor I stand up to bully and I'm make sure those peoples who need a friends I'll be there for them no matter who they are, how differently they are and no matter how broken they are. Everyone tell me I made their day in school regardless of my broken heart, depression and suicide thought

  38. Z.... ....

    National Anthem for Anti-Bullying

  39. K.... W....

    I am going to share this on facebook because I believe this is a point of view that should be heard. I like how you added the statistics and was able to show compassion for Eric and Dylan without excusing what they did.

  40. N.... ....

    Static Shock brought me here.

  41. Y.... -....

    I wanted to be a HERO...

  42. D.... F....

    Omg only took me like 6 years to find this song again. Love it and the meaning behind the song.

    D.... F....

    It's so weird but nice coming back to these older songs. I miss the 2000s music. 😔

  43. J.... S....

    This is a great song with a beautiful meaning bullying shouldn’t be tolerated and people are gonna tell me schools don’t tolerate it yes they do because they tell u ignore them and they’ll go away or if your in a fight run away like how stupid I’m not saying fight back but if u run away they are just gonna come back another day or maybe another time and if u ignore them they still bully u and if u tell a teacher u have no proof that they did try to fight u all they do is talk to them and that’s it like how dumb is that and it’s kinda sad that your a “hero” if u do save someone like i get why they said that but it should be a basic human act we are all people and should care for one another I shouldn’t want to help other go be called a hero I should help others cause they are people like me

  44. S.... S....

    Love the song

  45. E.... C....

    The rap is my favorite part!One of Superchick's best songs!

  46. J.... H....

    2018!!!!

  47. K.... K....

    This song saved my life! Back in high school I got a severe depression but was too ashamed to admit it. Then I heard this song and realized that I had a problem and needed help. It's been almost ten years now and I'm still want to live life to the fullest.

  48. S.... ....

    This is honesty so stupid

  49. D.... S....

    I was bullied in high school by former friends. I dropped out because it was hell. Worst years of my life. Today I battle drug addiction & self esteem issues.

  50. R.... O....

    Everyone should listen to this!

  51. m.... ....

    R.I.P to Eric and Dylan?There killers for God sakes.More like R.I.H. if you ask me.Awww big,bad,tough mofia members coulden't tough it out for 2 more months?Trench coat mofia.Get off it.Mofia members are tough.Ain't part of no damn mofia.Little wanna be's.What pussies.Also that so called "mofia" only had 1 other member in it.LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What losers.ROT IN HELL!!!!!!

  52. J.... G....

    Not everyone can be saved. Until you have walked a mile in their shoes,you may never understand why they choose suicide.

  53. K.... R....

    For god so loved the world he gave his one and only son whoever believe in him shall not perish but have. Eternal life. Read john3:16

  54. E.... 5....

  55. L.... N....

    😭 i hate bullys like why is rather never fit in the do that to someone and hurt them i.. just dont.. understand?! I'd do anything to help anyone that was trying to take there lifes i WISH I COULD HELP MORE PEOPLE THAT FEEL LIKE THIS!! 😭 WHY IS THIS WORLD LIKE THIS why!? ..

  56. M.... C....

    this song needs to be shared everywhere now in 2018...

  57. S.... C....

    Heros, can be made by the smallest of them

  58. R.... D....

    R.I.P Dylan and eric

    R.... D....

    But why? There's proof they weren't bullied and were the bullys themselves, and even if they were it doesnt justify what they did. Rip the victims, not the physcopaths who killed them.

  59. B.... o....

    And then yesterday there was another shooting in Texas, and there was that one in Florida.
    Hmm...where next? My school?

  60. K.... A....

    What a great message!

  61. s.... m....

    Wow back 10 years later

  62. L.... B....

    lol dont tell the murderers rest in peace wtf??

  63. E.... N....

    This song saved my friend's life

  64. E.... K....

    I haven't listened to this song in years, and have finally took a listen after yeears. And now with the issues arising and happening in present day (Florida shooting) I have a few things to say. I LOVE the message of this song. And yes there shouldn't be bullying and people shouldn't be exiled and all that.
    But people do not deserve to DIE because that person was struggling. Just because someone didn't want to talk to someone doesn't mean they deserve to be killed by someone who "can't take it"
    You should be nice to everyone and anyone you come by, it's human decency and should be practiced regardless. But in no way should victims be blamed for "not doing enough"

  65. T.... O....

    William sanders, does that mean thomas sanders is williams son or gandson

  66. S.... ....

    I have some form of sympathy for Dylan Klebold, but none for Eric Harris. Dylan Klebold suffered from severe depression and was suicidal at the time of the attack. He was shy, bullied, and just wanted to die. Dr. Dwayne Fuselier, the supervisor in charge of the Columbine investigation, would later remark: "I believe Eric went to the school to kill and didn't care if he died, while Dylan wanted to die and didn't care if others died as well."

    Harris was also a psychopath, which meant he had no regard for human life. He killed because it was *fun.* He deserves no one's sympathy. Harris taunted his victims, and smiled at many of them before murdering them. He also fired more shots than Klebold, and killed more people. I only sympathize with Klebold because I, too suffer from depression. I know what's it's like to want to die. But that's about as far as it goes.

    In my opinion, Eric Harris was scum. And to an extent, so was Dylan Klebold, though I can feel some of his pain. But I will not mourn either of them. They killed 12 people, and for that, they will not receive any of my sympathy.

  67. A.... ....

    I'm not a hero. I'm an anti-hero. I've been broken by the world and have had to rebuild myself several times. I am filled with anger, vengeance and pain. But I want to make the world a better place, and fight for those who have also been broken. But my driving force is a deep, burning anger. I'm morally ambiguous and willing to do things "heroes" usually aren't. Sometimes I can be disillusioned and go full on dark. But in the end, I usually support the forces of good.

    I am an anti-hero.

    A.... ....

    Or an angsty teenager.

  68. R.... B....

    Walk up, not out.

  69. p.... ....

    I wanted to listen to this because of the tragedy that happened in Florida... Rip to all those lives lost ;-;

  70. N.... E....

    This song is oddly motivating and depressing at the same time

  71. x.... ....

    For anyone reading this and is feeling lost, alone and afraid, I want you to know that things will get better. I and a lot of the other people who are commenting on this video have experienced varied degrees of bullying and once listened to this song for comfort. Now we come back to say, "We made it out alive and stronger than ever." We share our stories of pain and triumph to let you know that you are not alone in your experiences and that there is LIVING proof that survival is not impossible.
    There are so many of us here willing to support you, talk to you and comfort you so don't you worry. You are among friends. You are loved. You are strong. You have a right to exist and no one can ever take that away from you.

  72. J.... A....

    Less than two months into 2018: In the United States alone, there have been 8 school shootings resulting in injury and/or death.
    What has our country, our world, come to?
    Why does this happen?

    J.... A....

    Jon Akers because no one cares about anyone else they only care for themselves

    J.... A....

    Pablo, what about the people who do care? There are some who care about others, but they are the shadow people these days. Only the bad shows, sadly.

    J.... A....

    Jon Akers yes but they couldn't anything because they were too late and they were afraid

  73. A.... C....

    For some reason, the rapper Sounds Like JJ Demon. Sorry......

  74. b.... z....

    We sang this at school in choir in front of the whole school I think it had a big affect on how people treat each other.

  75. N.... V....

    I'm surprised I didn't see any noragami comments

  76. H.... K....

    I read that they went around shooting Christians apparently. . . Sad story. . . Love the song.

    *PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING*

    When I was in grade school, I had a good friend. His name is Sam, and he has autism. He didn't fit in, or act like others. He had learning disabilities, social disabilities, and his emotions were very fragile. Because of this, he was constantly criticized and bullied by people in his grade. I was his only friend, and would talk with him as much as possible. He isn't the average child, he is brilliant, funny, and kind. He was into Pokemon and Super Smash Bros, and we would talk about them whenever we had the chance. Lunch, PE, after school, he would come and sit next to me, and we would talk until his mother came to pick him up. We quickly became best friends. Whenever I was around and saw him beings bullied, I would always comfort him. When it got out of hand and he started pulling away and his grades started dropping, I went to the teachers. I told them everything, but they did nothing. I took matters into my own hands. I started learning how to stand up for him, and taught him how. Things were good, until middle school came.

    We went to the same middle school, and he started developing a crush on one of the girls. Let's call her Jeanie. Due to health problems, I had to drop out of school until the 3rd semester. By the time I got back, he made one friend that was like him, Robert. I'm not sure how Sam would be now if Robert weren't there. During PE, Sam was with a group and guys, playing Four Square. Those guys included my crush of 8 years, and his rude friends. His friends were the school bullies. This time, they took it too far. The group, not including my crush, all insulted Sam. Sam was used to that, but not what was next. They called his twin sister a whore and slut. This caught us by surprise, and I didn't know what to say. Sam denied them, but they continued. I was frozen and couldn't get any words out, so I just looked at my crush, expecting him to stop them. He was a nice guy, and usually stood against bullies. But now that the bullies were his friends, he just stood and watched. I never expected this from him, so I just grabbed Sam and walked us away from them. They continued playing their games like nothing happened.

    Prom was close, and Sam told us that he wanted to go with Jeanie. Jeanie was one of the popular girls- rude, careless, doesn't care about other's emotions. I knew that if he asked her, she would rudely decline, but I wasn't sure how to tell him. Soon, Sam had asked Jeanie, and she flatly said no, with no hesitation. Almost like it was a joke, she laughed at him, and her friends joined in. They all made fun of him. I told them to back off, and led Sam away from them. He was heartbroken, and I did what I could to help. He was desperate to go to the dance with someone, so he ended up asking me. I felt horrible, because I also declined. It wasn't that I didn't like him, it was because I was already going with someone else- the guy I had liked for many years. When the dance had arrived, my date never showed. I was devastated, and was close to crying. Sam had ended up going by himself to the dance, and he saw me sit down alone. Sam was instantly at my side, and started telling cheesy jokes that he knew I loved. After a while he left, but it wasn't for the reason I thought. He was actually going to find my friend, Hailey, and bring her to me. While she was distracted me, Sam had requested the DJ to play my favorite song, which Hailey had told him. They knew I couldn't resist dancing whenever it played, so they knew it would cheer me up. Within the hour, I was happy again. Sam and Hailey both had recently been rejected by their crush, so they knew what was happening. I guess the lesson with this is to always put your friends before others. They are the most important to you, and you are the most important to them.
