lyrics

To idolize and lionize
To elevate or alienate
To speak truth to power
When their truth is hate

When they can’t be bothered
To fairly pay the sewers
Of fatal curtain calls
In their safe space

NO
No more heroes
NO
No more heroes
In a culture of comic books
Here’s the lesson you can take
No more heroes
‘Till we all get capes

When the Duke and his horsemen
Storm the castle at night
When the only lesson they can teach to the
Working classes is to blow out this little light

Your silence is a siren
I can’t make out
From all this white noise
In Dolby Surround

NO
No more heroes
NO
No more heroes
In a culture of comic books,
Here’s the lesson you can take
No more heroes
‘Till we all get capes

So forgo
And embrace your reality
‘Cause you know it needs some love
When the phone booth
To change consists of
Window pains
Nowhere to run

Become a vessel
And levitate us
to a higher ground
Learn when to shut your mouth
And when to join the chorus and shout

NO
No more heroes
NO
No more heroes
In a culture of comic books,
Here’s the lesson you can take
No more heroes
‘Till we all get capes

NO
No more heroes
NO
No more heroes
'Till the institution of discrimination
Meets its crumbling fate
No more heroes
‘Till we all get capes
