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
|
|
