I never knew you meant that much to me

Why did I pour a candle when you died

Find a picture of you walking in Central Park

With the iron woman by your side

That candle burned for twenty days

Most of my best friends came to mourn

And talk about the good ole days

Before my friends and I were born



Now I think I understand

That it was Sgt. Pepper's band

That put the sixties into song

Where have all the heroes gone?



Lucy in the sky with the lads from Liverpool

Drop some acid, meet the Queen

Coming out of both eyes of the hurricane

You sang your music sweet and clean

You may not want my poetry

I surely do not want your fame

You rose over the dawn of my early history

I'll pay you tribute all the same



Now I think I understand

That it was Sgt. Pepper's band

That put the sixties into song

Where have all the heroes gone?

Where have they gone?

Where have they gone?

Where have all the heroes gone?

Where have all the heroes gone?



It was a diamond studded hard day's night

They say everyone was there

I must have heard you from my mother's arms

And I must have thought somebody cared

I live in the age of cosmic maniacs

One of them put a bullet in your side

New York City, 1980

The day the sixties finally died



Now I know I understand

That it was Sgt. Pepper's band

That put the sixties into song

Where have all the heroes gone?

Where have they gone?

Where have they gone?

Where have all the heroes gone?

Where have all the heroes gone?
