Heroes In The Dirt
I read the news today
You're sending more away
Guess someone's gotta pay for all the mess you made
Ready the fife and drum
The saber and the gun
Polish up the pine for the unlucky ones
Mother flag and country is enough for you
But would you kill your brother if I told you to
There is no war for peace on earth
Just more heroes in the dirt
You don’t care, do ya
I am just another soul
Who doesn’t think it’s worth the toll
But you don’t really care what I think
Do ya
Children’s blood will spill
All those lives unfulfilled
All to defend the wealth, and cater to your will
And so you roll the dice
Ask us to pay the price
But would you ever make the ultimate sacrifice
Why is it up to you who lives and who will die
In the name of God and heaven what is justified
You will always find another enemy
Something else to feed the war machine
But nothing kills the pain
Of those who died in vain
