I Don't Want To Be A Hero

I Don't Want To Be A Hero - Johnny Hates Jazz

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

I I dont want to be a hero

I dont want to die for you

I dont want to be a hero

I I dont want to be a hero

I dont want to die for you

I dont want to be a hero
