Johnny was a superhero, he saved ten lives a day
Then he got far too old, and now he's locked away
Tommy was bulletproof, dressed in latex, jumped around
Now that he's committed, he's confined to the ground
Voltorb could fire thunderbolts, from his fingertips
And now that he has fizzled out, he needs replacement hips
Jimmy could breathe fire, he toasted breadsector
Now he's in 12 by 12, with a sterile floor
Now they live at St Jerome's
(cup of tea, eat your pills)
St Jerome's retirement home
(catheter, bed by 9)
Now they live at St Jerome's
(pension book, travel pass)
St Jerome's retirement home
(cup of tea eat your pills)
Were, heroes, now, zeros
