When Heroes Go Down-Suzanne Vega

Originally uploaded by brian boulos.

When feeling sorta left out in the Cold
and Alienated from others
Today...

I guess I must turn
To the Radio

It is always there when I turn it on...
Very predictable...

But it still makes me CRY

SHIT

"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"
-Suzanne Vega
