WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HEROES

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HEROES

 EVERYTHING IS SO MIXED UP, THE WORLD IS UPSIDE-DOWN

PRIORITIES AND VALUES CHANGED, AND NOT ALWAYS FOR GOOD

A PURE HEART IS HARD TO FIND

WATCH THE WORLD AS IT TURNS

FLAGS ARE FALLING GETTING BURNED

IT'S HARD TO WATCH, HARD TO TAKE

THIS EXCESSIVE GREED, CAUSING THINGS TO BREAK

EVERYBODY SEEMS SO INDIFFERENT, SEEMS NOT TO CARE

JUST GOES ALONG WITH WHAT WHATEVER,S THERE

NOBODY WANTS TO COME TOGETHER

GUESS THE GENERATION OF LOVE IS GONE

CORPORATE GREED AND POLITICAL CORRUPTION

ARE BEHIND ALL THIS DISSENTION

BLACKENING EVERYTHING THAT'S PURE

WHEN LOVE AND GOOD CAN'T WIN, THEN I'M NOT SURE

 I CAN'T PINPOINT WHEN IT SLIPPED AWAY

IT WAS SO SUBTLE, LIKE A WHISPERED BREEZE

NOW HERE WE ARE ON OUR KNEES

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PEOPLE THAT COULD LEAD

WITHOUT KNOCKING US DOWN AND MAKING US BLEED

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HEROES

WHO'D COME RIDING IN TO SAVE THE DAY

CAPTURE ALL THE BAD GUYS THEN MAKE THEM PAY

IT'S JUST ANOTHER OMEN THAT WE SHOULD NOT IGNORE

BEFORE THEY HAVE THE CHANCE

TO CLOSE ANOTHER DOOR

FREEDOM SLIPS AWAY, A LITTLE MORE EACH DAY

WISH I COULD SAY THAT HELPS ON THE WAY

BUT IT WON'T COME, UNLESS WE COME TOGETHER AND RISE

LOOK AT THIS WITH OPEN EYES

EVERYONE'S INDIFFERENT, DON'T SEEM TO CARE

UNTIL YOU WAKE UP ONE DAY, AND NO ONE IS THERE

NOBODY WANTS TO COME TOGETHER, LOVE IS GONE

I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT SLIPPED AWAY, BUT WE NEED TO GET IT BACK

FEEL IT IN MY HEART JUST LIKE YOU, I KNOW THAT IT'S A FACT
