Fake Heroes

Kids blind by heroism,
by a fake nationalism.
They’re dreaming with greatness
when they’re dying in loneliness.

Money still in their pockets
Stolen money of the others.
Innocent lives are taken,
An unjustifiable mistake.

Chorus:
You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,
Forgotten like the ones before you.
You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,
One more medal hanging on the wall.

They tell the same old lies
Politicians trying to justify
Theft, rapes and genocide
And the new things they’re buying.

Innocent children sent to fight
Innocent children sent to die
As the warlords run and hide
They’re the scum in their world of lies

Chorus:
You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,
Forgotten like the ones before you.
You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,
One more medal hanging on the wall.

Bridge:
They will buy and blind you
They will distort the truth
You will win and die for them
You’re a puppet in their hands

Chorus:
You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,
Forgotten like the ones before you.
You will be a “hero”, just another “hero”,
One more medal hanging on the wall.
