We're living in a world without heroes
we've got blue screens we've got ones we've got zeroes
Where are all the JFK's and the Bobby DeNiros
when you need em
if you can't join em, you might as well beat em
And I'm writing this song cause I can't write a letter
my handwriting used to be so much better
I tried to sing it for my love but it only upset her
cause now we're living now in a world without heroes
I thought about my mother, I thought about my father
I love them both but it's complicated
I know you understand
I think about the world and who'd even bother
trying to save it
maybe it's time to start over
make a new plan
but for now
we're living in a world without heroes
we've got blue screens we've got ones we've got zeroes
where are all the JFK's and rabbi Shapiros
when you need em
if you can't join em, well you might as well beat em
and I hope this is just a narrow little passage of time
I hope no one makes the mistake of paying me any mind
and I hope everyone I love and even those I don't
can find their own way
but mostly
I hope all the heroes come back someday
