As his wife begins to sneeze And his son is throwing peas and eating with his feet He's an action hero and he should be fighting crime Leaping between the buildings and racing against time He's an action hero, he's an action hero In his mind In his mind Ohhh oh oh oh Ohhh oh oh oh He drops by Mount Sinai where they're running through some tests And they've taped things to his chest And they're all doing their best to make him feel at ease The doctor says, "It's really just an educated guess. I suggest you get some rest. Try to cut back on the stress 'cause I don't like what I see." But the action hero swears he feels just fine He's got to finish saving the world for all mankind He's an action hero, he's an action hero And he's racing against time He's racing against time Ohhh oh oh oh Ohhh oh oh oh Ohhh oh oh oh Ohhh oh oh oh There goes the action hero (3x) Ohhh oh oh oh Ohhh oh oh oh There goes the action hero (3x) He's racing against time
