I went from hero To zero
And I'm still sinking down
Money in the bank
Would lift me straight off the ground
Oh, high down to low ain't much fun
When your time is over and your day is done
Hero to zero
Hero to zero
Oh, hero to zero

I had a high time of my time
Now look where I am
Yes I'm down on my luck
Doing the best that I can
No way out but, I ain't gonna cry
Guess I'll kiss the high life goodbye
Hero to zero
Hero to zero
Oh, hero to zero

Oh well the high life was my life
But everything has to end
I was once at the top
But I died with my trend
No way out but, I ain't gonna cry
Guess I'll kiss the high life goodbye
Hero to zero
Hero to zero
I can't go on
