Johnny Hates Jazz - The Very Best Of Johnny Hates Jazz

I Don't Want to Be a Hero

Oh, send me off to war with a gun in my hand
But I won't pull the trigger
Our destiny is here 'neath the red, white, and blue
So, lead me to the slaughter

Now, don't be afraid, come and join the parade
For the ultimate in sacrifice
It's an old-fashioned story of hope and of glory
A ticket for taking life

I, I don't wanna be a hero
I don't wanna die for you
I don't wanna be a hero, no

Oh, send me off to war in a far away land (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?
'Cause you don't understand 'til there's blood on your hands
That it's time to forget and forgive

I (I), I don't wanna be a hero
I don't wanna die for you
I don't wanna be a hero, no-oh
Ooh, no, no, no, no (no-oh)
Oh, no (oh no, no)

And those who return, come back only to learn
That they're hated by those who they love
'Cause you're not satisfied 'til the thousand will die
And your anger is paint for their blood

I (I), I don't wanna be a hero
I don't wanna die for you
I don't wanna be a hero (whoa)

(Don't send me off to war) I (I) I don't wanna be a hero
I don't wanna die for you
I don't wanna be a hero (oh no)

(I said) (don't send me off to war)
I (I) don't wanna be a hero (I don't wanna die)
I don't wanna die for you (don't send me off to war)
(I) I don't wanna be a hero, ooh-ooh

(Don't send me off to war) I (I) I wanna be a hero
I don't wanna die for you (don't send me off to war)
