|
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 |
|
CHORUS |
|
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 |
|
REPEAT CHORUS |
|
And those who return come back only to learn |
|
That they're hated by those who they love |
|
'Cos you don't understand till there's blood on your hands |
|
That it's time to forget and forgive |
|
REPEAT CHORUS |
