A deal of pain heÂ's taken

A pretty price heÂ's paid

Got to join the forces

No need to be afraid

Good old times have gone now

He has to make a try

A shame to human nature

Country makes him fight or die



Just another hero with roses on his grave

Just another hero that jesus could have saved

Just another hero drowning in his fears

Just another hero but Maggie has no tears



He was a criminal

With handcuffs on his wrists

But now they make him a hero

To fight with guns not fists

Three million is a problem

So they say the armyÂ's fair

Because the nameless government

CouldnÂ't even care
