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
