[Intro]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh-ho, oh-oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
I wish I could fly like a jet plane
I could read the minds of my enemies
Worship a poster, carry a lunch box
Have a superhero to come and rescue me
I know we're only human, only made with flesh and blood
I shouldn't have such expectations waiting here for love

[Chorus]
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Fast moves, fast cars and remote controls, yeah
I just need someone to look up to
To help me down this winding road
(So whatever happened to the heroes?)

[Verse 2]
Joe DiMaggio, Martin Luther King
Mother Teresa, Princess Diana
Niles, Kurt Kobain, take a pill for the pain
Celebrity mentality, before you even spell your name
I know I'm full of imperfections, baby, aren't we all?
But I can use a good example to stop me 'fore I fall
(Stop me 'fore I fall)
[Chorus]
(What happened to...)
Whatever happened to the heroes? (Oh-ho, oh)
Fast moves, fast cars and remote controls (Remote controls)
I just need someone to look up to
To help me down this winding road
So whatever happened to the heroes?

[Bridge]
We fall to the waste line, can read in the dark side
Buried alive before my eyes and watching like a little child
Ooh, I could pick you up
Just to break you down, down, down, mm
Just to break you down, oh

[Chorus]
Whatever happened to the heroes?
(With the everything, yeah)
Fast moves, fast cars and remote controls
(Whatever happened, baby, what happened to my heroes?)
I just need someone to look up to
(What happened to the heroes?)
To help me down this winding road
(Help me, help me down, baby, help me down)
So whatever happened to the heroes? Yeah
Fast moves, fast cars and remote controls (Fast cars, ooh, oh, yeah)
I just need someone to look up to
To help me down this winding road (Yeah)
