Oh, send me off to war
With a gun in my hand
But I wont pull the trigger
Out destiny is here
neath the red, white and blue
So lead me to the slaughter

Now dont be afraid
Come and join the parade
For the ultimate in sacrifice
Its an old-fashioned story
Of hope and of glory
A ticket for taking life

I, I dont want to be a hero
I dont want to die for you
I dont 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 dont understand
Till theres blood on your hands
That its time to forget and forgive

I, I dont want to be a hero
I dont want to die for you
I dont want to be a hero

And those who return
Come back only to learn
That theyre hated by those who they love
cos youre not satisfied
Till the thousand will die
And your anger is paint for blood

I, I dont want to be a hero
I dont want to die for you
I dont want to be a hero
