Nobody's Hero, by Rush - Proginoskes - 04-30-2011
A while ago, Timote Wrote:You might want to check out Rush's 'Different Stages' collection if you can find it. 3 CDs, 33 live tracks.It doesn't really sound like an "Added Moral Fibre!" lambs-to-lions song to me. I think it sounds more like it would induce in the types of people mentioned as counterexamples – glamour girls and boys, vacuous actors and sports stars, and at a guess anyone whose primary goal in life is to amass more power/wealth – an "Oh god when did my life become so meaningless" fugue, and inspire people not to strike at villains but rather to better the world. It would make everyone around a little more like Harvey Milk, Martin Luther King Jr., or Mohandas Gandhi.
Edit: actually, thinking about that album reminded me of another Rush song.
Nobody's Hero - Rush
I knew he was different in his sexuality
I went to his parties as a straight minority
It never seemed a threat to my masculinity
He only introduced me to a wider reality
As the years went by, we drifted apart
When I heard that he was gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart
But he's nobody's hero
Save the drowning child
Cure the wasting disease
Hero -- lands the crippled airplane
Solves great mysteries
Hero -- not the handsome actor
Who plays a hero's role
Hero -- not the glamour girl
Who'd love to sell her soul
If anybody's buying,
Nobody's hero
I didn't know the girl, but I knew her family
All their lives were shattered in a nightmare of brutality
They try to carry on, try to bear the agony
Try to hold some faith in the goodness of humanity
As the years went by, we drifted apart
When I heard that she was gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart
But she's nobody's hero
Is the voice of reason against the howling mob
Hero -- is the pride of purpose
In the unrewarding job
Hero -- not the champion player
Who plays the perfect game
Hero -- not the glamour boy
Who loves to sell his name
Everybody's buying
Nobody's hero
As the years went by, we drifted apart
When I heard that you were gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart
But he's nobody's hero
Save the drowning child
Cure the wasting disease
Hero -- lands the crippled airplane
Solves great mysteries
Hero -- not the handsome actor
Who plays a hero's role
Hero -- not the glamour girl
Who'd love to sell her soul
If anybody's buying,
Nobody's hero
Hero
Power: Inspires people in the AoE to stand up for their beleifs. (like in stories/films where the Villain beats down the hero, but before he can finish the hero, the townsfolk decide "we've had enough of you" and the villain) suddenly finds the lambs are becoming lions around him
