I Don`t Want to Be A Hero — текст песни (Johnny Hates Jazz)

Oh, send me off to war
With a gun in my hand
But I won`t pull the trigger
Out 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 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

(Chorus)
And those who return
Come back only to learn
That they`re hated by those who they love
`Cos you`re not satisfied
Till the thousand will die
And your anger is paint for blood

(Chorus)
