twilight of the heroes

now that the show is over
the heroes are going home
the world is safe and sober
the bandits guys are overthrown

superman now he’s now president
of the small animals breeding club
while iron man his famous friend
sells psychedelic drugs

hero hero hero
you think you are a hero
if only for one day
yet back there at your real show
all your glory fades away

prometheus runs a butchers shop
specialized in liver pie
and hercules got the final job
to keep sisyphus occupied

robin hood he once cared
for righteous redistributions
now he travels funfairs
to sell trick-shot illusions

zorro he no longer rides
for justice as he did once
now he’s got a wall street job
sells sustainable investment funds

but winnetou still fights for you
if he’s not to late
for he runs a diving school
on the shores of the silver lake

hero hero hero
you think you are a hero
if only for one day
yet back there at your real show
all your glory fades away

the parish council has decided
to burn an alien tonight
the good folks are so excided
everyone wants to set the light

and everybody is so busy
to do what’s taught to be right
the good folks are getting dizzy
in this heroic fight

hero hero hero
you think you are a hero
if only for one day
yet back there at your real show
all your glory fades away
