Lyric I dont want to be a hero

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
