Karaoké I Don't Want to Be a Hero Johnny Hates Jazz

Oh send me off to war with a gun in my hand but I won't pull the trigger

Our destiny is here 'neath the red, white and blue so lead me to the slaughter

And now don't be afraid

Come and join the parade for the ultimate in sacrifice

It's an old-fashioned story of hope and of glory

A ticket for takin' a life

I

I don't want to be a hero

I don't wanna die for you

I don't want to be a hero

No

Oh send me off to war in a far away land

I never knew existed

Subject me to the truth

To the horror and pain until my mind is twisted

And what if I fail

Will you put me in jail for a murder I will not commit

'Cos you don't understand 'till there's blood on your hands that it's time to forget and forgive

I

I don't want to be a hero

I don't wanna die for you

I don't want to be a hero

No ho

Hoo ooh

No no no no

Oh ho hoo ooh ooh

Tah la la ah ah

And those who return come back only to learn that they're hated by those who they love

'Cos you're not satisfied 'till a thousand have died and your anger is paid for in blood

I

I don't want to be a hero

I don't wanna die for you

I don't want to be a hero

Woah woah wooh woah hoo

Don't send me off to war

I

I don't want to be a hero

I don't wanna die for you

I don't want to be a hero

Don't send me off to war

I said I

I don't want to be a hero

I don't wanna die

I don't wanna die for you

Don't send me off to war

I don't want to be a hero

Tah ah tah ah

Don't send me off to war

I don't want to be a hero

Ah oh

I don't wanna die for you
