Lyrics
MATINEE HEROES
Where are those matinee heroes,
Teaching us right from wrong,
Silently riding on the wind into the sunset,
Where have our heroes gone?
When I was a boy it was the good guys who'd win,
But I guess that just gets lost now in the tell,
They say modern men's minds are to advanced for this, when,
We find we're on the fast lane to hell.
They wore masks to protect the ones that they loved,
From the evil they were charged to persue,
Challenged by foes without face meeting glove,
With the gauntlet thrown the fight would ensue.
So I guess we'll just continue to look out for each other,
And find the insight and the strength to go on,
But if you look I'm sure that you will discover,
That that has been the way all along.
Bring back those matinee heroes,
To teach us all right from wrong,
But silently they rode on the wind into the sunset,
Where have our heroes gone?
