The Outsiders the Musical - Hoods Turned Heroes Lyrics

The song is written by Jonathan Clay, Zach Chance and Justin Levine.

TWO-BIT:
I woke up this morning
Hungover from the night before
I picked up the paper
And my jaw done hit the floor
There were kids trapped in a fire
And a couple of heroes came to their aid
I had to look twice
At the picture when I saw that
It was Ponyboy and Johnny Cade
I thought them boys were as good as dead
But as it turns out the headline read
Hoods turned heroes
These Greasers are the talk of the town
They ran straight into the fire
While that old church was burning down
Just some low-down dirty Greasers
Accused of murder in the first degree
Imagine this: they save some kids
That's how they got to be
Yeah, that’s how they got
To be the front page story
Yeah
Hoods turned heroes

SODAPOP:
When a Greaser's in the paper
You can bet a dollar
That it ain't no good

SODAPOP & GREASERS: (spoken)
Someone got robbed
Someone got mugged
Someone had a run-in with a Greaser hood
But now the tide is changing
I can see you people turning one by one
Are we headed for the age of the Greasers?
The reconciliation's already begun
Hoods turned heroes

TWO-BIT:
They caught us all by surprise
When they rose to the occasion,
Put it on the line
And saved all
Of them children's lives

ENSEMBLE:
Hoods turned heroes

SODAPOP:
Is Tulsa gonna finally see?
Got some heroes in the makin'

SODAPOP & TWO-BIT:
And the Greaser reputation

SODAPOP, TWO-BIT, & ENSEMBLE:
Ain't the burden
That it used to be
Look at us now
We're getting our due
It's feeling even sweeter after
What we've been through
Hoods turned heroes
This town will never be the same
It's time to celebrate the Greasers
Take pride in the Greaser name
Owe it all to Pony & Johnny
They've still got a ways to go
But y’all stay tuned
They’ll get well soon
There's gonna be more
To this Greaser story
Hoods turned heroes
