A song of the transfer from the innocence of childhood to the murkier world of adulthood....as Tennessee Williams called, crossing over that broken ground!
lyrics
ALL MY HEROES ARE GONE
Robbed the rich to feed the poor As we fought the sheriff’s men.
Sailed upon the Spanish main And came for tea again.
I rode out with Jesse James As we rode across the range.
Fought amongst the Indians And came home for tea again.
And all my heroes have gone. And all my heroes have gone.
I became Superman To stop the speeding train.
But I had to hurry home When Kryptonite fell like rain.
Fought the things from outer space When the martians tried to land.
But I had to hurry home When my ray gun jammed.
And all my heroes have gone. And all my heroes have gone.
But for all my childhood games I was not prepared.
To survive this adult world That struggles hard to care...
And all my heroes have gone.
And all my heroes have gone.
