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

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 taking a life

I, I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero

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 want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero

(Teclado)

And those who return
Come back only to learn
That they're hated by
those who they love

’cos you’re not satisfied
Till the thousand will die
And your anger is paint for blood

I, I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero

I, I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero

I, I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero

(No sé de donde saqué la letra, pero más o menos cuadra toda, que la he cuadrado.)
