Soldiers Who Want to Be Heroes

Soldiers who wanna be heroes
Number practically zero
But there are millions
Who wanna be civilians
Soldiers who wanna be
Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions
Who wanna be civilians
Come and take my eldest son
Show him how to shoot a gun
Wipe his eyes if he starts to cry
When the bullets fly
Give him a rifle, take his hoe
Show him a field where he can go
To lay his body down and die
Without asking why
Soldiers who wanna be heroes
Number practically zero
But there are millions
Who wanna be civilians
Soldiers who wanna be
Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions
Who wanna be civilians
