7. Heroes
tell me, momma, do you toss and turn all night,
thinking of the world and all it's crimes?
it leaves you paralyzed,
awake, but traumatized...
see you later, got to go to join the fight,
if you're scared, just look in my
crazed eyes, cold as stone,
cat's eyes, watch'em glow.
going to war... going to war...
have you said goodbye? are you ready to fight?
going to war... yeah, we're going to war...
will we ever know if it's wrong or right?
so now we've got to fight for the ones who died,
who gave their lives and sacrificed,
lost here in this maze,
where guns fire and blood rains.
and if we fall along the way,
remember how we fought today.
heads high, we're the brave!
heroes, come this way!
going to war... going to war...
are you out on your own? are you scared tonight?
going to war... yeah, we're going to war...
will we ever know if it's wrong or right?
today I fell apart inside,
when they came to say
that you were shot down.
to think, all you ever got
was a little thanks,
and your plot paid.
this pain, a never-ending war,
I better make it short,
before I break down.
tonight a candle burns for those
and all the ones alone,
'cause you're my heroes!
now, listen up, if you're ever gonna face the big lights,
and from your bunker all's in doubt,
as the world comes crashing down,
hold your head high, and keep in mind,
that to your country you're a hero tonight!
thinking of the world and all it's crimes?
it leaves you paralyzed,
awake, but traumatized...
see you later, got to go to join the fight,
if you're scared, just look in my
crazed eyes, cold as stone,
cat's eyes, watch'em glow.
going to war... going to war...
have you said goodbye? are you ready to fight?
going to war... yeah, we're going to war...
will we ever know if it's wrong or right?
so now we've got to fight for the ones who died,
who gave their lives and sacrificed,
lost here in this maze,
where guns fire and blood rains.
and if we fall along the way,
remember how we fought today.
heads high, we're the brave!
heroes, come this way!
going to war... going to war...
are you out on your own? are you scared tonight?
going to war... yeah, we're going to war...
will we ever know if it's wrong or right?
today I fell apart inside,
when they came to say
that you were shot down.
to think, all you ever got
was a little thanks,
and your plot paid.
this pain, a never-ending war,
I better make it short,
before I break down.
tonight a candle burns for those
and all the ones alone,
'cause you're my heroes!
now, listen up, if you're ever gonna face the big lights,
and from your bunker all's in doubt,
as the world comes crashing down,
hold your head high, and keep in mind,
that to your country you're a hero tonight!
