"Weak Become Heroes" is a song by The Streets, which became his third single, from his album "Original Pirate Material". It was released on July 2 2002.

The song concerns Mike Skinner's nostalgia for nightclub culture in the 1990s. Towards the end of the track he names Danny Rampling, Paul Oakenfold and Nicky Holloway as influences. He also makes reference to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.

This song was remixed by Röyksopp, an electronic music duo from Norway.

"Weak Become Heroes" was later re-released as a double A-side with the song "It's Too Late", but the single failed to chart.
