Taking Out Monsters

from Taking Out Monsters by Jessi Robertson

lyrics

You can have all my heroes
I know what I'm doing
I'll bring the arrows
Time to put a stop to this wreckage and ruin

When their time's up they will claim
They don't recall our faces or our names
When their time's up they will claim
They were just slaying Medusas and who could blame
A hero for taking out monsters
My heroes were acting like monsters
Turns out my heroes are monsters
You can have them all

If this is the edge of an ice floe
I'm gonna make a crash landing
I wanna know how deep this goes
Even if at the end no one is left standing

When their time's up they will claim
They don't recall our faces or our names
When their time's up they will claim
They were just slaying Medusas and who could blame
A hero for taking out monsters
My heroes were acting like monsters
Turns out my heroes are monsters
You can have them all
You can have them all

When their time's up they will claim
They don't recall our faces or our names
When their time's up they will claim
They don't recall our faces or our names
When their time's up
They don't recall our faces or our names
When their time's up
They won't recall our faces or our names

When their time's up (You can have all my heroes)
When their time's up (Our faces and our names)
When their time's up (You can have all my heroes)
They won't recall our faces or our names

When their time's up (You can have all my heroes, they won't recall)
When their time's up (Our faces or our names)
When their time's up (You can have all my heroes, they don't recall)
When their time's up (You can have all my heroes, won't recall our faces or our names)

When their time's up (You can have all my heroes)
When their time's up (Our faces or our names)
When their time's up (You can have all my heroes)
They won't recall our faces or our names
When their time's up
