Don't Be A Hero |
| Don’t be a hero, heroes are so sad |
| Don’t be a hero, it’ll just make you feel bad |
| Beware of the candyman, he doesn’t realise |
| That the present that he’s brought for you is gonna burn out your eyes |
| Old Pharaoh’s daughter once swallowed a grain |
| Which took her to Hades, where they blew out her brain |
| All the physicians just looked on in shame |
| Om the walls of the temple they erased her name |
| 'I'll see you tomorrow' - I heard someone say |
| The man he was talking to had faded away |
| Oh how he must have cried when he was alone |
| For the devil had taken his soul and the snow had froze him to the bone |
| God’s living herb is OK I suppose |
| But the thorn in your side once grew on a rose |
| So just take it easy, that’s all I beseech |
| For love is the highest high you can reach |
