War Hero |
| When I got back to my homeland |
| I didn’t have a thing where my parts used to hang |
| So they gave me a medal and a fine harangue |
| And now I’m a bloody hero |
| Chorus: |
| Mourn for the dead world-family |
| If you want to be a hero follow me Mourn for the dead world-family |
| If you want to be a hero follow me Now the boys and girls all envy me I fought for the military industry |
| Now I can’t walk and l can’t see |
| Now I’m a bloody hero |
| The cluster bombs and the napalm blasts |
| Automatic weapons and chemical gas |
| Technology built to last |
| Now I’m a bloody hero |
| All over the world there are spots |
| Where the war dead corpses lie and rot |
| And every corpse is a patriot |
| And every corpse is a hero |
