When I was young, I'm thinkin' 'bout what
Life would be in black and white, playing on our old TV
You never failed me, you were all I needed to know
On your white horse, you were my heroe
All that lady, girl of my childhood dreams,
the guy in black was always chasing her it seems,
but I never worried vertue triumph in the end,
and now I ?????? you way back then

All those movies in black and white
it was easy to tell the wrong from right,
when the bad guy loses in the end
and the good guy win the lady's hand,
we still need you if the [bad word] were told
the color's fine and they improved the tone
but I'd rather get the ending right,
we still need heroes, heroes in black and white

Now I'm older and the world is a different place to see,
the black and white looks a little grey to me,
and I have changed, cause there has been [bad word] 
and the lady looks a little sad but wise,
late at night, far past the news ATM,
they're on the [bad word] riding for the [bad word] again,
sometimes I see you and I'm sure it's time you win the fight,
I still need heroes, heroes in black and white

All those movies in black and white
it was easy to tell the wrong from right,
when the bad guy loses in the end
and the good guy win the lady's hand,
we still need you if the [bad word] were told
the color's fine and they improved the tone
but I'd rather get the ending right,
we still need heroes.
