New Model Army - Heroes lyrics

We are not children anymore

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

You are not 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 so much time

You are not heroes anymore

If you know them

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

You are not heroes anymore

You are not my mother

You are not my father
