The album’s eponymous track and one of The Strangler’s better known tunes, No More Heroes is a musing on the state of the world and its leaders. Various figures in world history are mentioned in the song, whom some demographics may consider heroes.
The song says all the heroes and the great leaders...
[Verse 1]
Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?
He got an ice pick
That made his ears burn
[Verse 2]
Whatever happened to dear old Lenny?
The great Elmyr
And Sancho Panza?
[Hook 1]
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
[Verse 3]
Whatever happened to all the heroes?
All the Shakespearoes?
They watched their Rome burn
[Hook 2]
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Whatever happened to all the heroes?
All the Shakespearoes?
They watched their Rome burn
[Outro]
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
