Hero, Warrior
Sit behind the lines and make the call
Leader, Believer
A vestal three-piece high above it all
But until you`ve walked the miles
With the people that you lead
You can`t understand their pain
When the common people bleed
Fuhrer, Big Brother
Victimize the weak and make us strong
Teacher, Savior
Sanctify your answers, right or wrong
But until you`ve walked the miles
With the people that you lead
You can`t understand their pain
When the common people bleed
--You should be decorated
Adorned by scarlet bars
A celebrated General
To brandish blackened stars
--You should be decorated
Your ribbons frayed and torn
Upon your paper pedestal
For the children to adorn
--You should be decorated
Leader, Believer
Victimize the weak and make us strong
Teacher, Savior
Sanctify your answers, right or wrong
But until you`ve walked the miles
With the people that you lead
You can`t understand their pain
When the common people bleed
--You should be decorated
