Out of the ruins Out from the wreckage Can't make the same mistake this time We are the children The last generation (the last generation, generation) We are the ones they left behind And, I wonder when we are ever gonna change, change Living under the fear, 'til nothing else remains We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond Thunderdome Looking for something, we can rely on There's gotta be something better out there Ooh, love and compassion Their day is coming (coming) All else are castles built in the air And, I wonder when we are ever gonna change, change Living under the fear, 'til nothing else remains All the children say We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond Thunderdome So, what do we do with our lives We leave only a mark Will our story shine like a light or end in the dark? Give it all or nothing We don't need another hero (hero, hero) We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond Thunderdome All the children say We don't need another hero (we don't need another hero) We don't need to know the way home, ooh All we want is life beyond Thunderdome
