I Dont 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
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
