"Nobody's Hero" is a song by Canadian progressive rock band Rush, released as the third single from their 1993 album Counterparts.

[1] The first verse deals with the AIDS-related death of a gay man named Ellis Booth, a friend of Neil Peart when Peart lived in London.

After the chorus, the second verse speaks of a girl who was murdered in Peart's hometown, Port Dalhousie and was the daughter of a family friend, as remembered by Peart in Far and Wide: Bring That Horizon to Me!

The girl is rumoured to have been Kristen French, one of Paul Bernardo's victims.

[2] It inspired the title for the paper Nobody's Hero: On Equal Protection, Homosexuality, and National Security published in The George Washington Law Review.
