==Lyrics==
:Out of the ruinsOut from the wreckageCan't make the same mistake this timeWe are the childrenThe last generation (the last generation, generation)We are the ones they left behind
:And, I wonder when we are ever gonna change, changeLiving under the fear, 'til nothing else remains
:We don't need another heroWe don't need to know the way homeAll we want is life beyond Thunderdome
:Looking for something, we can rely onThere's gotta be something better out thereOoh, love and compassionTheir day is coming (coming)All else are castles built in the air
:And, I wonder when we are ever gonna change, changeLiving under the fear, 'til nothing else remains
:All the children sayWe don't need another heroWe don't need to know the way homeAll we want is life beyond Thunderdome
:So, what do we do with our livesWe leave only a markWill our story shine like a light or end in the dark?Give it all or nothing''
:[INSTRUMENTAL SOLO]
:We don't need another hero (hero, hero)We don't need to know the way homeAll we want is life beyond Thunderdome
:All the children sayWe don't need another hero (we don't need another hero)We don't need to know the way home, oohAll we want is life beyond Thunderdome
