Letra de All my heroes are dead

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 heard 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´d 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
