Dar Williams - All My Heroes Are Dead Şarkı Sözleri
Dar Williams
| Şarkı Sözleri
you gotta admit life magazine made 1968 look great, my father said it sucked, everybody died. all the troops you couldn´t save, no one knew how to be brave, he said sometimes you were afraid to turn your radio on. it was enough to make you quit that peacenick scene. well i heard about leaders, yeah i hear they´re no longer around cause peace was abandoned, and bravery hanged in his town. and they passed down a sentence for building on the beauty of some dream.
all my heroes are dead, i got them in my head, saying never again, never a war, no more fighting. so i´ll stay true to them, and they´ll come home again, i´ll carry the light, follow the dream, i´ll remember.
the ´68 convention was a singing the times they are a-changing, well i guess they a-changed back. oh i miss those peaceful folk, love and humor when they spoke, hey phil ochs you still sound great, should´ve stuck around to hear it.
they say that compact disc makes songs come true. but phil i never expected that i´d miss you like a friend, cause i never expected that we would be marching again. and the soldiers of peace would tumble from this life as in a war.
all my heroes are dead, and all the books i read, said "this is greed, this is wrong, fight your war at home". so i´ll stay true to them, and they´ll come home again, i´ll carry the light, follow the dream, i´ll remember.
so back to the present passion, romance, love, or simply put a lack thereof. shall we go on? i don´t take it personally, it´s our post-modern history, you know since nixon was impeached it´s just been hard to commit, so we cast our allegance left and right. but i always believed that our souls would come through. so i never expected that you´d take her home with you. and i never detected, how hardened and not sorry you could be. don´t you know?
all our heroes are dead, we got ourselves instead. and oh my friend, all your lies, they won´t do you. you gotta stay true to them, and they´ll come home again, i miss them too, i miss them too, you know i miss them more than i love you.
