Hero of War - Cuppatea
He said Son
Have you see the world
Well what would 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 off 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 flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A beg over his face
From his family and friends
They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again
A hero of war
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 flag that I love
And 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 be 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 seen
A medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought that flag home
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
Be only flag I trust
He said
Son have you seen the world
Well what would you say
If I said that you could
