Lyrics:

Oh send me off to war with a gun in my handBut I won't pull the triggerOur destiny is here 'neath the red white and b
lueSo lead me to the slaughterNow don't be afraid come and join the paradeFor the ultimate in sacrificeIt's an old-fashion
ed story of hope and of gloryA ticket for taking a lifeCHORUSI I don't want to be a heroI don't want to die for youI don'
t want to be a heroOh send me off to war in a far away landI never knew existedSubject me to the truth to the horror and pa
inUntil my mind is twistedAnd what if I fail will you put me in jailFor a murder I will not commit'Cos you don't understan
d till there's blood on your handsThat it's time to forget and forgiveREPEAT CHORUSAnd those who return come back only to
learnThat they're hated by those who they love'Cos you don't understand till there's blood on your handsThat it's time to fo
rget and forgiveREPEAT CHORUS
