i don't want to be a hero

[00:17.05] Oh, send me off to war with a gun in my hand
[00:22.01] But I won't pull the trigger
[00:25.69] Our destiny is here 'neath the red, white, and blue
[00:30.55] So, lead me to the slaughter
[00:34.32] Now, don't be afraid, come and join the parade
[00:38.02] For the ultimate in sacrifice
[00:42.64] It's an old-fashioned story of hope and of glory
[00:47.18] A ticket for taking life
[00:51.84] I, I don't wanna be a hero
[00:58.18] I don't wanna die for you
[01:02.44] I don't wanna be a hero, no
[01:08.44] Oh, send me off to war in a far away land (far away land)
[01:13.39] I never knew existed
[01:16.79] Subject me to the truth, to the horror and pain
[01:21.95] Until my mind is twisted
[01:25.64] And what if I fail, will you put me in jail
[01:29.31] For a murder I will not commit?
[01:33.83] 'Cause you don't understand 'til there's blood on your hands
[01:37.96] That it's time to forget and forgive
[01:43.05] I (I), I don't wanna be a hero
[01:49.45] I don't wanna die for you
[01:53.60] I don't wanna be a hero, no-oh
[02:01.96] Ooh, no, no, no, no (no-oh)
[02:10.00] Oh, no (oh no, no)
[02:17.00] And those who return, come back only to learn
[02:21.16] That they're hated by those who they love
[02:25.18] 'Cause you're not satisfied 'til the thousand will die
[02:29.57] And your anger is paint for their blood
[02:34.23] I (I), I don't wanna be a hero
[02:40.62] I don't wanna die for you
[02:44.97] I don't wanna be a hero (whoa)
[02:49.86] (Don't send me off to war) I (I) I don't wanna be a hero
[02:57.74] I don't wanna die for you
[03:01.96] I don't wanna be a hero (oh no)
[03:06.61] (I said) (don't send me off to war)
[03:10.66] I (I) don't wanna be a hero (I don't wanna die)
[03:14.98] I don't wanna die for you (don't send me off to war)
[03:18.06] (I) I don't wanna be a hero, ooh-ooh
[03:21.95] (Don't send me off to war) I (I) I wanna be a hero
[03:24.13] I don't wanna die for you (don't send me off to war)
[03:25.87]
