Lyrics of Heroes

One time my father said to me
"when you grow up, you be the best man you can be
When i look back on how fucked up my life has gone"
He said, "well son that's the thing that will make you strong"

I never said that i knew what was right or wrong
Because all my heroes are long gone

There's no heroes anymore

One time, one cry
No heroes, no more
All of this time i had been wrong

I see a man there on tv
With lots of fame, lots of pride, lots of money
He probably hates his wife, he probably beats his kids
He'll never have respect for all the things he did

I never said that i knew what was right or wrong
Because all my heroes are long gone

There's no heroes anymore

I never said that i knew what was right or wrong
Because all my heroes are long gone

And no one ever told me just what i should be
All i ever had was me
