Hero And A Brave (L)
Hero And A Brave
words by H. Felgitsch
music by A. Kilz & M. Vatter
First they came and they made us proud
Of a country brave and big
Then they took my best friends away
To that eastern battle field
They were blind and believed their words
Called them keeper of the peace
They were young and they did not know
Of the cruelties they would meet
I don’t wanna see the news no more
Of a war we never voted for
I don’t wanna hear the forces roar
No more
I don’t wanna see the bodies fly
I don’t wanna see our widows cry
I don’t wanna see those children die
No more
First they came and they made us proud
(To) be defenders of the Faith
Faith in freedom and faith in peace
And we could not but believe
Now they come and they still insist
In a warfare without end
And we know what we’re fighting for
A million barrels in our hands
I don’t wanna see the news no more
Of a war we never voted for
I don’t wanna hear the forces roar
No more
I don’t wanna see the bodies fly
I don’t wanna see our widows cry
I don’t wanna see those children die
No more
Your mom when she sits at home
Hears a strange voice on the phone
Telling her that the news are bad
And her son never will come back
Then all the sky turns grey
Though your letter’s on the way
Telling her you’ll be back soon
By the rising of next moon
Be a hero and a brave
Be an idiot and a slave
To an army blind and deaf
I been talking, I been warning
We don’t wanna see the news no more
Of a war we never voted for
We don’t wanna hear the forces roar
No more
We don’t wanna see the bodies fly
We don’t wanna see our widows cry
We don’t wanna see those children die
No more
