Song Description

Choppy rock/pop with an interesting rhythm and a big punchy chorus. Great lyrics about modern fame and the disposable pop culture. A repeated hooky refrain that lodges in your head and stays there.

Lyrics

AIN'T NO HEROES

I'm standing at the top of my family tree
Sneak a quick look at our history
Well I'm no writer but it seems to me
There ain't no heroes like there used to be

There ain't no heroes like there used to be
I wonder how we rode the long road between
Joan of Arc on the guillotine
And the Hollywood starlet in the magazine

We're getting old
But acting so much younger
Have all the roses died of too much dung?
Am I all alone?
In thinking that we've grown

I'm watching the footy on my flat screen TV
Thinking back to when this game was easy
Well I'm no player but it seems to me
There ain't no heroes like there used to be

There ain't no heroes like there used to be
Even rock got caught in the money machine
How did we get from care free kids
To corporate jets and Apple Ipod hits?

We're getting old
But acting so much younger
Have all the roses died of too much dung?
Am I all alone?
In thinking that we've grown....backwards
Are we shrinking down our soul?

There ain't no heroes like there used to be
There ain't no heroes like there used to be

There ain't no heroes like there used to be
They all set sail in a submarine
Can someone send me back in a time machine?
There ain't no heroes like there used to be

There ain't no heroes like there used to be
There ain't no heroes like there used to be
There ain't no heroes like there used to be
There ain't no heroes like there used to be
