Riddle me this And Make My Day Who has taken all the heroes away? They are not in the papers Or on TV Not anywhere, sadly, that I can see Maybe King Arthur got lost And James Bond’s in rehab Batman’s car is in the shop and he can’t find a cab Lassie’s having a nap The Ghostbusters are late Sisyphus is wearing a back brace, bemoaning his fate You grown-ups created them Then chased them away, Will they return to fight for us some other day? The waters are rising The weather’s off course Even Mary Poppin’s umbrella can’t withstand the force The planet’s a mess It’s hot and not fair The people in charge really don’t seem to care Atlas is just holding on by the sweat of his brow If there ever was time for a hero it’s now I sometimes can sense them- They watch and they wait Until a time when the land is not so full of hate The young will bring them back Just wait and you’ll see We’ll make change for the better and then they’ll be free We will make them our own All those Jedis and knights When we can once again give all people rights When the world’s rid of the leaders Who have hurt and have lied The heroes will be here again to fight by our side
