No More Heroes

9/11’s been a massive success 

Thousands of young men now want to march to their deaths

Now we’ve the forces and reason; 

We’re ready to go to Iraq

Empty placemat; mother’s waiting,

Your child will never come back 

Go ahead, give 'em something to die for

They wanna fall in war anyway

Go ahead give 'em something to cry for, something tragic to mourn, they’ll send their sons away

Give ‘em no more heroes

No more heroes

I’ve got a something in my war chest 

A slew of young men willing to march to their deaths 

We trained them so well with films of hatred, war, and abuse

What monkey sees, monkey will do-

Assault rifles ready for use! 

Go ahead, put it all on the line for the U.S. Military 

Why do the pawns keep marching on to check an identical king? 

And there’s no more heroes

No more heroes 

Go ahead and flick the trigger, are you man enough to steal life? 

Go ahead, you’re free from judgement, you can kill his kids and you can rape his wife

No more heroes 

No more heroes

Go ahead go off to war and be that fine, upstanding Nazi

Let me give my life for war while lord Eris peacefully sleeps 

No more heroes 

No more heroes
