Sgt. Pepper's Band

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?
