Heroes

[Verse 1:]
I'll be there when the boots touch ground
If they ever really make that sound
The iconic scene of a marching corps
And the freedom that they're marching for
Nowadays it's a common sight
And I thought to stop the fight
But now I've matured and I know my place
I gotta listen to the general's case
My kind it's common to
Believe the victims of the rules
And I'm not making a comment on that
But I've been laid down some facts
And sure it seems so cruel
But the spread of peace is being stopped by fools
Who whine and bicker and do not mind
To see dictators fetishized
And I may have been one to
Believe war is a bourgeoisie tool
But these men in official green gear
Been doing this for many years
And not to mention the companies
Who build the weapons, ship overseas
I am not in the position to guess
That they're doing it for their own interests

[Chorus:]
So I permit our heroes on the battlefield!
I permit our heroes on the battlefield!
I permit our heroes on the battlefield!
I permit our heroes on the battlefield!

[Verse 2:]
I am held responsible
For every death that's overseas
Like I could know or I could stop it
Had this view, but now forgot it
I was ignorant back then
But now I know how it is
America the strong
Cannot stop what's going on?
Well now I got to make that decision
Protestors I beg to differ
For fuckin' sakes I gotta save civilians
By dropping bombs and killing civilians
Well, okay it's complicated
But the nonsense stops, and I will not take it
All your whining about the war
Here's a law to shut you up
We have our reasons for destruction and death
If we don't strike first, they'd have done it to us
And not to mention the natural resource
If it counts, it'll make us dollars

[Chorus:]
I permit our heroes on the battlefield!
I permit our heroes on the battlefield!
I permit our heroes on the battlefield!
I permit our heroes on the battlefield!

[Bridge:]
I heard the news the other day
The dictators are dead
And the people on the ground
Walk without their heads
Well, now they've got a puppet
Dance for us new partner
Trade us in your profit
Your people crawlin', suffer for
U.S.D
You fucked us out of confidence and belief in our cause
20,000,000 causalities and now we withdraw
I can't do this anymore
Hurts to say I've come this far
To lose the war and pull us out
Of a global disease
That we have caused and we will truthfully
Make up our mistake
When we do this the next time
And not do it as fake

[Outro:]
"Mr. President, we are beating down your door!
You have never given anything we ever asked you for!
And broken all your vows that you swore and you swore
And you swore and you swore but it never came to pass
We are sick and tired just as you claimed to be
Of the war and the injustice and the system's poverty
That you have now entrenched deeper, and it happened oh so fast
Your name, your legacy, should die within the past!"
