Heroes Lyrics - New Model Army

We are not children any more 

The fists you made they are come bashing at your door 

Your legacy is waiting in the wings 

And there's something so familiar in the hunger that we bring 

We don't want to be like you, don't want to live like you 

Learn by our own mistakes, thank you 

Forcing time and pushing through 

Ch: You are not our heroes anymore 

Dim the lights the time is come 

Into the ring the father and the son 

Sown in sweat and passion long ago 

And now the blood on our hands is the same as our own 

And the man has the skill and the man has the power 

But the boy has the will to win and so much time 

Ch: You are not our heroes anymore 

If you knew then what you know now to be true 

You never would have started this whole chain we're going through 

And you love us now but you hate us still 

And we hate you now but we love you still 

Ch: You are not our heroes anymore 

You are not my mother, you are not my father 

You are not our heroes anymore
