Hero of War

He said son, have you seen the world?
 What whould you say if I said that you could
 just carry this gun
 you'll even get paid
 I said "that sounds pretty good"
 Black leather boots
 spit shined so bright
 they cut of my hair
 but it looked alright
 we marched and we sang
 we all became friends
 as we learned how to fight
 () A hero of war
 yeah that's what i'll be
 and when I come home
 they'll be damn proud of me
 I'll carry this flag
 to the grave if I must
 'Cause it's a flag that i love
 It's a flag that I trust
 I kicked in the door
 yelled my commands
 the children they cried
 but we got our man
 we took him away
 with a bag on his head
 from his family and his friends
 They took of his clothes
 pissed in his hands
 I asked them to stop
 but then i joined in
 we beat him with guns
 and batons not just once
 but again and again

 'Cause it's flag that love
 It's a flag that I trust
 She walked through bullets and haze
 I asked her to stop
 I begged her to stay
 but she pressed on
 So, i lifted my gun
 and i fired away
 And the shells jumped through the smoke
 and into the sand
 that the blood now had soaked
 She collapsed with a flag in her hand
 A flag white as snow
 A Hero of war
 Is that what they see?
 Just medals and scars
 sp damn proud of me
 And I brought home that flag
 Now it gathers dust
 But it's a flag that I love
 The only flag I trust
 He said, Son, have you seen the world?
 well, what would you say
 If i said that you could?
 I
