Suzanne Vega - When Heroes Go Down lyrics

When heroes go down They go down fast So don't expect any time to Equivocate the past When heroes go down They land in flame So don't expect any slow and careful Settling of blame I heard you say You look out for the feet of clay That someone will be falling next Without the chance For last respects You feel the disappointment When heroes go down Man or woman revealed You can't expect any kind of mercy On the battlefield I heard you say You look out for the feet of clay That someone will be falling next Without the chance for last respects You feel the disappointment When heroes go down Man or woman revealed Do you show any kind of mercy On the battlefield? When heroes go down When heroes go down When heroes go down
