Heroes and Pawns

White flag, black bags
So long to Richard Nixon
Dump the choppers
It's a sordid clusterfuck

Kabul Kaboom
Dasvidaniya Brezhnev
Mujahadeen
Victorious

Yes I had false hope to say that we could never do again
What we did so many times between the dusk and dawn
And I don't for sure know If we lost or what we won
I just know
One man's hero
Is another man's pawn

San Juan, swan song
End of the flaccid empire
The long siesta
On the road to Guernica

Banzai, good luck, sayonara Hirohito
Mount Suribachi
The setting of the rising sun

Was it a false hope to say that we would never do again
What we did so many times between the dusk and dawn
And then I don't for sure If we lost, or what we won
I just know
One man's hero
Is another man's pawn

Was it a false hope today that we would never do again
What we did so many times between the dusk and dawn
Well I don't for sure the cost of what we won

I just know one man's hero
One man's hero, one man's hero, one man's hero is another man's pawn
One man's hero, one man's hero, one man's hero is another man's pawn
One man's hero, one man's hero, one man's hero is another man's pawn
One man's hero, one man's hero, one man's hero is another man's pawn
One man's hero, one man's hero one man's hero is another man's pawn
