Jackopierce - Heroes Lyrics
"The children all cried as the hero did dieAnd the credits they rolled on to blackThere's comfort they know, they'll soon be at homeWith the hero in wait behind the curtainsHeroes don't die that's the truthNext show we'll know what to doStand our ground if we make it that longAnd wait for the hero to rideA blonde-headed boy with a coon-skin for a crownHe marches his troops into townSix-shooter hand, black powder capsHe just saved the city from the IndiansHeroes don't die that's the truthNext show we'll know what to doCircle the wagons and hope he breaks throughAnd wait for the hero to rideBut the boy was betrayed on a slow fire dayWhen his rifle it ran out of capsThe tracers and mortars sang a mournful songWith his hero nowhere to be foundTry to explain to the mama who's cryinThat her baby boy was only tryinTo hold out a moment for some myth on a stallionTell her that heroes don't die"
