We're livin' in a world of the super hero
Everybody catch the show
And when the film is done
The hero passes on
And I wonder, yes I wonder
Where the used up heroes go
Captain Kirk, he flew the Enterprise
Throughout the interstellar skies
And I admired his claim to fame
But it's sad to see him back again
'Cause now he gets his jollies
From a supermarket chain
We're livin' in a world of the super hero
Everybody catch the show
And when the film is done
The hero passes on
And I wonder, yes I wonder
Where the used up heroes go
Lone Ranger was a friend of mine
It's a pity that he missed his prime
Superman, he went insane
He couldn't take this crazy game
And now he's in a gutter
With a bullet in his brain
I'm livin' in a world of the super hero
Everybody can't you see
That when my time is done
I'll go marching on
And I wonder, yes I wonder
What becomes of me, what becomes of me
What becomes of me now, what becomes of me
What becomes of me, what becomes of me
What becomes of me, what becomes of me
Everybody catch the show
And when the film is done
The hero passes on
And I wonder, yes I wonder
Where the used up heroes go
Captain Kirk, he flew the Enterprise
Throughout the interstellar skies
And I admired his claim to fame
But it's sad to see him back again
'Cause now he gets his jollies
From a supermarket chain
We're livin' in a world of the super hero
Everybody catch the show
And when the film is done
The hero passes on
And I wonder, yes I wonder
Where the used up heroes go
Lone Ranger was a friend of mine
It's a pity that he missed his prime
Superman, he went insane
He couldn't take this crazy game
And now he's in a gutter
With a bullet in his brain
I'm livin' in a world of the super hero
Everybody can't you see
That when my time is done
I'll go marching on
And I wonder, yes I wonder
What becomes of me, what becomes of me
What becomes of me now, what becomes of me
What becomes of me, what becomes of me
What becomes of me, what becomes of me
