You gotta admit life magazine made 1968 look great,
My father said it sucked, everybody died.
All the troops you couldnât save, no one knew how to be brave,
He said sometimes you were afraid to turn your radio on.
It was enough to make you quit that peacenick scene.
Well I heard about leaders, yeah I heard theyâre no longer around,
Cause peace was abandoned, and bravery hanged in his town.
And they passed down a sentence for building on the beauty of some dream.
All my heroes are dead, I got them in my head, saying
Never again, never a war, no more fighting.
So Iâll stay true to them, and theyâll come home again,
Iâll carry the light, follow the dream, Iâll remember.
The â68 convention was a singing the times they are a-changing,
Well I guess they a-changed back.
Oh I miss those peaceful folk, love and humor when they spoke, hey
Phil ochs you still sound great, shouldâve stuck around to hear it.
They say that compact disc makes songs come true.
But phil I never expected that Iâd miss you like a friend,
Cause I never expected that weâd be marching again.
And the soldiers of peace would tumble from this life as in a war.
All my heroes are dead, and all the books I read,
Said "this is greed, this is wrong, fight your war at home".
So Iâll stay true to them, and theyâll come home again,
Iâll carry the light, follow the dream, Iâll remember.
So back to the present passion, romance, love, or simply
Put a lack thereof.
Shall we go on?
I donât take it personally, itâs our post-modern history,
You know since nixon was impeached itâs just been hard to commit,
So we cast our allegance left and right.
But I always believed that our souls would come through.
So I never expected that youâd take her home with you.
And I never detected, how hardened and not sorry you
Could be. donât you know?
All our heroes are dead, we got ourselves instead.
And oh my friend, all your lies, they wonât do you.
You gotta stay true to them, and theyâll come home again,
I miss them too, I miss them too, you know I miss them
More than I love you.
