Heroes in tennis shoes

not everyone can play that game

but isn't it us who lose

when all we see on front page news



I think it's fair to say

the rules have changed and I

think that it's time to say

we'vek played this game too long



It doesn't surprise me

we're the Johnny Come Lately's

and we're taking it lightly

not likely



It doesn't matter now

because we're all alone some how

and we're taking it lightly



Heroes in tennis shoes

Oh how I wish I played that game

dealing with high school blues

we never thought that we could lose
