Rise Against "Hero Of War" letra

Hero Of War

He said, “Son,Have you seen the world?Well, what would you sayIf I said that you could?Just carry this gun and you’ll even get paid.”I said, “That sounds pretty good.”

Black leather bootsSpit-shined so brightThey cut off my hair but it looked alrightWe marched and we sangWe all became friendsAs we learned how to fight

A hero of warYeah that’s what I’ll beAnd when I come homeThey’ll be damn proud of meI’ll carry this flagTo the grave if I mustBecause it’s flag that I loveAnd a flag that I trust

I kicked in the doorI yelled my commandsThe children, they criedBut I got my manWe took him awayA bag over his faceFrom his family and his friends

They took off his clothesThey pissed in his handsI told them to stopBut then I joined inWe beat him with gunsAnd batons not just onceBut again and again

A hero of warYeah that’s what I’ll beAnd when I come homeThey’ll be damn proud of meI’ll carry this flagTo the grave if I mustBecause it’s flag that I loveAnd a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and hazeI asked her to stopI begged her to stayBut she pressed onSo I lifted my gunAnd I fired away

The shells jumped through the smokeAnd into the sandThat the blood now had soakedShe collapsed with a flag in her handA flag white as snow

A hero of warIs that what they seeJust medals and scarsSo damn proud of meAnd I brought home that flagNow it gathers dustBut it’s a flag that I loveIt’s the only flag I trust

He said, “Son,Have you seen the world?Well what would you say,If I said that you could?”
