Daed.be: 1927 - Compulsory hero lyrics

Remember the times when we were kids
Everybody had to be a hero
Playing war games in your yard
Night would fall and we'd call a truce
and get one in the heart
And all go home
Years went by we were average guys
playing life by rule of thumb
Till a man came on the TV
Talking 'bout war like he wanted one
He said "Everybody line up backs to the wall
till your numbers called"I've got a new game for all you boys
You've gotta go and be a hero
Its war without a choice
Just try and make it home
Compulsory hero
Grandpa heard the call to all
And your dad went off to do his bit
For the war to end all wars
You've really got no say in it
when he had to go on more
You've gotto fight
Thats the law
You've gotta go and be a hero
They made a law that you had to go fight
Compulsory hero
One more crazy war Just try and make it home
None of them really wouldn't of known So all that had to be heroes
Went off to do their chores
How far a bloody war goes
they're dying to make it home
Then I think back on all those times
Back then that wasn't hard
Playing war games in your yard
Everybody had to be a hero
Night would fall on the battle zone
And we could all go home
You had to go and be a hero
They made a law that you had to go and fight
One more crazy war
Compulsory hero
Just try and make it home
But whose gonna make it home
Just try and make it home
