Whatever Happened To The Heroes?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish I could fly
Like a jet plane
I could read the minds
On my enemies
Worship the poster
Carry a lunch box
Have a super hero
To come and rescue me
I know we're only human
Only made with flesh and blood
I shouldn't have such expectations
Waiting here for love
What ever happened to the heroes?
Fast food, fast cars and remote control
I just need someone to look up to
To help me down this winding road
(So, what ever happened to the heroes)
Joe DeMaggio
Martin Luther King
Mother Teresa
Princess Diana
Now it's Kurt Cobain
Take a pill for the pain
Celebrity mentality
Before you even spell your name
I know I'm full of imperfections
Baby, aren't we all?
But I could use a good example
Stop before I fall
Stop before I fall, what happened to...
What ever happened to the heroes?
Fast food, fast cars and remote control
I just need someone to look up to
To help me down this winding road
So what ever happened to the heroes?
We fall to the waste side
You've been to the dark side
Buried alive, before my eyes
Been brought to life a zillion times
They like to build you up
Just to break you down, down, down
Just to break you down, oh
What ever happened to the heroes?
(What happened, baby?)
Fast food, fast cars and remote control
(What happened to my hero?)
I just need someone to look up to
To help me down this winding road
(Help me down, baby, help me down)
What ever happened to the heroes?
(What happened to the heroes?)
Fast food, fast cars and remote control
(Fast cars, oh)
I just need someone to look up to
To help me down this winding road
