lyrics
Somebody's getting picked on. Somebody's getting put down.
Somebody's getting beat up and bullied
while the boys make a circle on the playground.
Somebody ought to stop this. Anybody can see it isn't right.
Somebody's getting hurt and humiliated
just because a bully started picking a fight.
I can stand here watching feeling smaller than a zero
Or I could take some action and become somebody's hero
Somebody's hero - I could make that play!
Somebody's hero - I could save the day!
Somebody's hero - How cool would it be
If somebody's thinking hero...
And thinking of me?
Somebody's getting cast out. Somebody's getting trash talked.
Somebody's getting dragged through the gossip
by the girls in the circle on the sidewalk.
Somebody ought to speak up. Anybody can see it isn't good.
Somebody's getting hurt and humiliated
just because a bully started saying she should.
And I can stand here listening feeling smaller than a zero
Or I could take some action and become somebody's hero
Somebody's hero - I could make that play!
Somebody's hero - I could save the day!
Somebody's hero - How cool would it be
If Somebody's thinking hero...
And thinking of me?
I don't care what it looks like. I don't care if haters gonna hate.
Somebody needs a friend right now; I'm stepping up to that plate.
No more silent watching. No more letting bullies win.
Somebody needs a hero. I'm stepping in!
Somebody's hero - I'm gonna get that done!
Somebody's hero - I’m gonna be the one!
Somebody's hero - My choice is clear
When Somebody needs a hero...
I volunteer!
Somebody's getting beat up and bullied
while the boys make a circle on the playground.
Somebody ought to stop this. Anybody can see it isn't right.
Somebody's getting hurt and humiliated
just because a bully started picking a fight.
I can stand here watching feeling smaller than a zero
Or I could take some action and become somebody's hero
Somebody's hero - I could make that play!
Somebody's hero - I could save the day!
Somebody's hero - How cool would it be
If somebody's thinking hero...
And thinking of me?
Somebody's getting cast out. Somebody's getting trash talked.
Somebody's getting dragged through the gossip
by the girls in the circle on the sidewalk.
Somebody ought to speak up. Anybody can see it isn't good.
Somebody's getting hurt and humiliated
just because a bully started saying she should.
And I can stand here listening feeling smaller than a zero
Or I could take some action and become somebody's hero
Somebody's hero - I could make that play!
Somebody's hero - I could save the day!
Somebody's hero - How cool would it be
If Somebody's thinking hero...

HORRIBLE SONGS FOR CHILDREN
