Lyrics
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.
We are not children anymore
The fists you made they are come
Bashing at your door
Your legacy is waiting in the wings
And there's something so familiar
In the hunger that we bring
We don't want to be like you
Don't want to live like you
Learn by our own mistakes, thank you
Forcing time and pushing through
You are not heroes anymore
Dim the lights the time is come
Into the ring the father and the son
Sown in sweat and passion long ago
And so much time
You are not heroes anymore
If you know them
What you know now to be true
You never would have started
This whole chain we're going through
And you love us now
But you hate us still
And we hate you now
But we love you still
You are not heroes anymore
You are not my mother
You are not my father
