No Heroes Lyrics

No Heroes lyrics

Chorus: We are not the heroes, all the words we say can never change it

  
      We are not the heroes, rewrite history or rearrange it

         We
are not 'the white hats', they are not 'the black'

         And none of
us on either side can save our children

         On the day that we
attack

         

I watch my babies sleeping, and they are barely
two

They look out on a universe that's magical and new

I sit here
and imagine, in this smug, heroic nation

What my children will look like
next year

As they die of radiation



We all move our missiles
closer to our enemies, until

We are forced to use computers to decide
just when to kill

But computers have no judgement, or no love or hope or
fear

So mistakes are that much easier

And nightmares cluster
near



         Chorus



I do not sing of spirits, so
you're probably not scared

You couldn't do a thing about it, even if you
cared

You are helpless pawns of masters, or you're blind and deaf and
dumb

And you're also not responsible                       ("all so" ? -
C. ;-)  )

For what surely has to come



Some are dying of
diseases, so we're proud that we're not ill

If we cannot push the button,
it's not our fault bombs can kill

Though we never reach to help, we didn't
make the stumbler fall

When our children feel the atom's kiss

We'll
share no blame at all



         Chorus
