Hero Of The War |
| He’s a hero of the war |
| All the neighborhood is talkin' 'bout your son |
| Mrs. Reiley get his medals |
| Hand them 'round to everyone |
| Show his gun to all the children in the street |
| It’s too bad he can’t shake hands or move his feet |
| He’s a hero of the war |
| You can see his picture in the local news |
| Mrs. Reiley seems the girl next door is nowhere to be found |
| Once you couldn’t keep that boy from hangin' 'round |
| Never mind dear, you’re with your mum once more |
| He’s a hero of the war |
| Like his dad he gave his life the war before |
| It was tragic how you almost died of pain when he was born |
| With no husband there beside you through it all |
| Ring the bell if you get hungry or you fall |
| You’re a hero of the war |
| Why those teardrops on your cheek? it’s so absurd |
| Feelin' empty it’s the emptiness of heroes like your son |
| And what made him leave his mother for a gun |
| Driven forward driven back and nothing more |
| He’s a hero of the war |
