This is our current single
This is, ah, called Compulsory Hero
Remember the times when we were kids
Playing war games in your yard
Everybody had to be a hero
Get one in the heart
Then night would fall and we'd call a truce
And all go home
Years went by, we were average guys
Playing life by the rule of thumb
Until a man came on the TV
Talking 'bout war like he wanted one
He said, "Everybody line up, backs to the wall
'Til your numbers called"
You gotta go and be a hero
They got a new game for all you boys
It's war without a choice
Compulsory hero
Just try and make it home
Grandpa heard the call to arms
For the war to end all wars
And your dad went off to do his bit
When they had to go one more
But you, you've got no say in it
You gotta fight and that's the law, that's the law
You've gotta go and be a hero
They made a law that you had to go and fight
One more crazy war
Compulsory hero
Just try and make it home
So all the had-to-be heroes
Went off to do their chores
None of them really would've known
How far a bloody war goes
They're dying to make it home
So when I think back on all those times
Playing war games in your yard
Everybody had to be a hero
Back then, that wasn't hard
Night would fall on the battle zone
And we could all go home
You had to go and be a hero
They made a law that you had to go and fight
One more crazy war
Compulsory hero
Just try and make it home
Just try and make it home
But whose gonna make it home?
This is, ah, called Compulsory Hero
Remember the times when we were kids
Playing war games in your yard
Everybody had to be a hero
Get one in the heart
Then night would fall and we'd call a truce
And all go home
Years went by, we were average guys
Playing life by the rule of thumb
Until a man came on the TV
Talking 'bout war like he wanted one
He said, "Everybody line up, backs to the wall
'Til your numbers called"
You gotta go and be a hero
They got a new game for all you boys
It's war without a choice
Compulsory hero
Just try and make it home
Grandpa heard the call to arms
For the war to end all wars
And your dad went off to do his bit
When they had to go one more
But you, you've got no say in it
You gotta fight and that's the law, that's the law
You've gotta go and be a hero
They made a law that you had to go and fight
One more crazy war
Compulsory hero
Just try and make it home
So all the had-to-be heroes
Went off to do their chores
None of them really would've known
How far a bloody war goes
They're dying to make it home
So when I think back on all those times
Playing war games in your yard
Everybody had to be a hero
Back then, that wasn't hard
Night would fall on the battle zone
And we could all go home
You had to go and be a hero
They made a law that you had to go and fight
One more crazy war
Compulsory hero
Just try and make it home
Just try and make it home
But whose gonna make it home?
