I Don't Want To Be A Hero |
Oh, send me off to war |
With a gun in my hand |
But I won’t pull the trigger |
Our destiny is here |
'Neath the red, white and blue |
So lead me to the slaughter |
Now don’t be afraid |
Come and join the parade |
For the ultimate in sacrifice |
It’s an old-fashioned story |
Of hope and of glory |
A ticket for taking a life |
I, I don’t want to be a hero |
I don’t want to die for you |
I don’t want to be a hero |
Oh send me off to war |
In a far away land |
I never knew existed |
Subject me to the truth |
To the horror and pain |
Until my mind is twisted |
And what if I fail |
Will you put me in jail |
For a murder I will not commit? |
'Cos you don’t understand |
Till there’s blood on your hands |
That it’s time to forget and forgive |
And those who return |
Come back only to learn |
That they’re hated by those who they love |
'Cos you’re not satisfied |
Till a thousand have died |
And your anger is paid for in blood |
