[Verse 1]
Too alarming now to talk it out
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

[Chorus]
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

[Verse 2]
Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

[Chorus]
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

[Interlude]
Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on

[Chorus]
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Paramore

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
