American Hero
I don't know what you wanted to do
But I do know what you did
You opened up Pandora's Box
And turned it into a big hit
He was either an American hero
Or a killer with an pretty face
They say he did what had to be done
But better than all the rest
Yes you remember the times
Yes you remember the places
Did you see the look in their eyes
Did you see the sunshine on their faces
The trouble is being trained to kill
Means it might become what you do best
No one wants to know
What happens if you ever fail the test
The faces of the ones you love
Keep fading in the dying light
And all you really want to do
Is be able to close your eyes at night
Yes you remember the times
Yes you remember the places
Did you see the look in their eyes
Did you see the sunshine on their faces
The time and the money they spent
To turn you into the devil's hand
Could bring hope to the desperate ones
And water to the desert sands
No one wants to hear the cries
Of the children hiding in their beds
We're just happy living our lives
Letting someone else pay our debts
But I do know what you did
You opened up Pandora's Box
And turned it into a big hit
He was either an American hero
Or a killer with an pretty face
They say he did what had to be done
But better than all the rest
Yes you remember the times
Yes you remember the places
Did you see the look in their eyes
Did you see the sunshine on their faces
The trouble is being trained to kill
Means it might become what you do best
No one wants to know
What happens if you ever fail the test
The faces of the ones you love
Keep fading in the dying light
And all you really want to do
Is be able to close your eyes at night
Yes you remember the times
Yes you remember the places
Did you see the look in their eyes
Did you see the sunshine on their faces
The time and the money they spent
To turn you into the devil's hand
Could bring hope to the desperate ones
And water to the desert sands
No one wants to hear the cries
Of the children hiding in their beds
We're just happy living our lives
Letting someone else pay our debts
