"Nobody's Hero" is a song by Canadian prog-rock band Rush from their album Counterparts.[1] The first stanza deals with the AIDS-related death of a homosexual man named Ellis, a friend of Neil Peart when Peart lived in London. After the chorus, the second stanza speaks of a girl who was murdered in Peart's hometown, Port Dalhousie. The girl is rumoured to have been Kristen French, one of Paul Bernardo's victims. The song charted number three on the U.S. mainstream rock chart.

A music video was made for the song.[2]
