1927 - Compulsory Hero Lyrics

Send "Compulsory Hero" ringtone to your cell

Remember the times when we were kids

Playing war games in your yard

Everybody had to be a hero

And get one in the heart

Night would fall and we'd call a truce

And all go home

Years went by we were average guys

Playing life by the rule of thumb

Till a man came on the TV

Talking 'bout war like he wanted one

He said "Everybody put your backs to the wall

Till your numbers called"

You've gotta go and be a hero

I've got a new game for all you boys

Its war without a choice

Compulsory hero

Just try and make it home

Grandpa heard the call to all

For a war to end all wars

And your dad went off to do his bit

And he had to go one more

You've really got no say in it

You have to fight

And thats the law

You've gotta go and be a hero

They made a law you had to go fight

One more crazy war

Compulsory hero

Just try and make it home

So all that had to be heroes

Went off to do their chores

None of them really wouldn't of known

How far a bloody war goes

They're dying to make it home

Then I think back on all those times

Playing war games in your yard

Everybody had to be a hero

Back then that wasn't hard

Night would fall on the battle zone

And we could all go home

You had to go and be a hero

They made a law that you had to go and fight

One more crazy war

Compulsory hero

Just try and make it home

Just try and make it home

But whose gonna make it home
