The Lyrics
This one is based on what IMHO is one of the Top 10 NWOBHM songs, very atmospheric and most definitely not an average heavy metal track, I can only hope that this my "non-funny parody" does it justice lyricswise).
They came to ad for Marlboro and their cig'rettes
Young men with their packs
They died with failin' lungs in their country
A bunch of faded heroes, coughing hacks
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
The smokin' heroes
Gave a damn, a package makes a man hard
They said you've got to roll another bong
Temptation full of snags and cruel leukemia
And X-rays with meta-stases in lungs
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
The smokin' heroes
The smokin' heroes
The smokin' heroes
The smokin' heroes
The smokin' heroes
The smokin' heroes
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
The smokin' heroes
Their pipes recalled the days when they were steadfast
The lawyers they said they bled from asbestos
They bode a death toll tally, hither wondered
Tobacco leaf slaves die, on exhale
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Those smokin' heroes
Those manly heroes
Those cowboy heroes
Those Marlb'ro heroes
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Young men with their packs
They died with failin' lungs in their country
A bunch of faded heroes, coughing hacks
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
The smokin' heroes
Gave a damn, a package makes a man hard
They said you've got to roll another bong
Temptation full of snags and cruel leukemia
And X-rays with meta-stases in lungs
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
The smokin' heroes
The smokin' heroes
The smokin' heroes
The smokin' heroes
The smokin' heroes
The smokin' heroes
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
The smokin' heroes
Their pipes recalled the days when they were steadfast
The lawyers they said they bled from asbestos
They bode a death toll tally, hither wondered
Tobacco leaf slaves die, on exhale
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Those smokin' heroes
Those manly heroes
Those cowboy heroes
Those Marlb'ro heroes
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?
Where are they now?

What? but the tobacco companies say there's no link between tobacco and ill health - now I'm confused....
