lyrics

Once upon a time is how the story used to start
The hero slayed the villains and won the princess's heart
Simplistic childhood folktales of bravery and romance
To misguide the reader into thinking they could have this chance

There are no more heroes in the stories
No more heroes to scale the walls
Tear the pages from the books
Cos there's no more heroes left at all

The TV personality they say he's the one to watch
He'll disarm you with his smile that tells you everything he's not
And when all the sordid rumours turned out to be true
The saddest part of all of it is that everybody knew

There are no more heroes in the movies
No more heroes on the screen
Rip the posters off the wall
Cos there's no more heroes left at all

Rest assured they'll come for you
Disguised as rockstars and sports stars too
They'll lure you in, abuse your misplaced trust
And turn all innocence into dust

But still you embarrass yourself with stars filling your head
'cos you're far too old for heroes and they're already dead
