I Don't Want to Be a Hero

[02:48.71] Oh, send me off to war with a gun in my hand
[02:53.05] But I won't pull the trigger
[02:56.78] Out destiny is here 'neath the red, white and blue
[03:01.53] So lead me to the slaughter
[03:05.69] Now don't be afraid, come and join the parade
[03:09.25] For the ultimate in sacrifice
[03:13.66] It's an old-fashioned story of hope and of glory
[03:18.31] A ticket for taking life
[03:22.78] I, I don't want to be a hero
[03:29.07] I don't want to die for you
[03:33.59] I don't want to be a hero, no
[03:39.51] Oh, send me off to war in a far away land
[03:44.30] I never knew existed
[03:47.92] Subject me to the truth, to the horror and pain
[03:53.09] Until my mind is twisted
[03:56.76] And what if I fail, will you put me in jail
[04:00.62] For a murder I will not commit?
[04:04.83] 'Cause you don't understand till there's blood on your hands
[04:09.05] That it's time to forget and forgive
[05:05.90] I, I don't want to be a hero
[05:12.01] I don't want to die for you
[05:16.24] I don't want to be a hero, no
[05:20.40] No, no, no, no, oh no, oh, no, no
[05:58.24] And those who return, come back only to learn
[05:59.82] That they're hated by those who they love
[06:01.07] 'Cause you're not satisfied till the thousand will die
[06:02.41] And your anger is paint for their blood
[06:03.53] I, I don't want to be a hero
[06:05.02] I don't want to die for you
[06:06.23] I don't want to be a hero
[06:07.71] I, I don't want to be a hero
[06:09.14] I don't want to die for you
[06:10.38] I don't want to be a hero, oh no
[06:11.50] I, I don't want to be a hero
[06:12.48] I don't want to die for you
[06:13.48] I don't want to be a hero, no, no
[06:14.45] I, I don't want to be a hero
[06:15.24] I don't want to die for you
[06:16.19]
