Fake Heroes

Fake Heroes

Kids blind by heroism,

by a fake nationalism.

They’re dreaming with greatness

when they’re dying in loneliness.

Money still in their pockets

Stolen money of the others.

Innocent lives are taken,

An unjustifiable mistake.

Chorus:

You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,

Forgotten like the ones before you.

You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,

One more medal hanging on the wall.

They tell the same old lies

Politicians trying to justify

Theft, rapes and genocide

And the new things they’re buying.

Innocent children sent to fight

Innocent children sent to die

As the warlords run and hide

They’re the scum in their world of lies

Chorus:

You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,

Forgotten like the ones before you.

You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,

One more medal hanging on the wall.

Bridge:

They will buy and blind you

They will distort the truth

You will win and die for them

You’re a puppet in their hands

Chorus:

You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,

Forgotten like the ones before you.

You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,

One more medal hanging on the wall.
