Place the muzzle against your head
And pull the trigger down again
You’re A Hero of Our Time.
A dripping mascara
Stains with black your pale face
Count your time: three, two and one
We risk, we bet,
We place our money on your head.
One shot could end
Our live, but still we don’t regret.
And I still remember: I was crying,
I was trying to defeat my luck.
There’s no even, no odd,
no dice to roll on and on
There’s no bullet in your barrel
This means you’re still alive
You’re still A Hero of Our Time.
Watch the neon on the ceiling
And reverse your stream of thoughts
Would you play another round?
We risk, we bet,
We place our money on your head.
One shot could end
Our live, but still we don’t regret.
Chorus
Place the muzzle against your head
And pull the trigger down again
You’re A Hero of Our Time.
