Where have all the heroes gone
In an a age of disenchantment
Old fashioned heroism seems to be on the ropes
At the same time unsung heroes are everywhere

(Gone, gone, gone)

Maybe it's time to switch from public to private heroism
Beginning in the home in an age of disenchantment
(x2)

(Gone, gone, gone)

Americans have reserved a central place for noble conduct
in their collective self image
they have concentrated on individual greatness
to define their greatness as a nation
With this record in mind
