I Don't Want to Be A Hero Lyrics - Johnny Hates Jazz

I Don't Want to Be A Hero
Oh, send me off to wa
With a gun in my han
But I won't pull the trigge
Out destiny is her
'Neath the red, white and blu
So lead me to the slaughte
Now don't be afrai
Come and join the parad
For the ultimate in sacrific
It's an old-fashioned story
Of hope and of glor
A ticket for taking lif
(Chorus
I, I don't want to be a her
I don't want to die for yo
I don't want to be a her
Oh send me off to wa
In a far away lan
I never knew existe
Subject me to the trut
To the horror and pai
Until my mind is twiste
And what if I fai
Will you put me in jai
For a murder I will not commit
'Cos you don't understan
Till there's blood on your hand
That it's time to forget and forgiv
(Chorus
And those who retur
Come back only to lear
That they're hated by those who they lov
'Cos you're not satisfie
Till the thousand will di
And your anger is paint for bloo
(Chorus)
