Dar Williams All my Heroes are Dead Letras:
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.
