1
Remember the times when we were kids
2
Playing war games in your yard
3
Everybody had to be a hero
4
and get one in the heart
5
Night would fall and we'd call a truce
6
And all go home
7
Years went by we were average guys
8
playing life by the rule of thumb
9
Till a man came on the TV
10
Talking 'bout war like he wanted one
11
He said "Everybody put your backs to the wall
12
till your numbers called"
13
You've gotta go and be a hero
14
I've got a new game for all you boys
15
Its war without a choice
16
Compulsory hero
17
Just try and make it home
18
Grandpa heard the call to all
19
For a war to end all wars
20
And your dad went off to do his bit
21
and he had to go one more
22
You've really got no say in it
23
You have to fight
24
And thats the law
25
You've gotta go and be a hero
26
They made a law you had to go fight
27
One more crazy war
28
Compulsory hero
29
Just try and make it home
30
So all that had to be heroes
31
Went off to do their chores
32
None of them really wouldn't of known
33
How far a bloody war goes
34
they're dying to make it home
35
Then I think back on all those times
36
Playing war games in your yard
37
Everybody had to be a hero
38
Back then that wasn't hard
39
Night would fall on the battle zone
40
And we could all go home
41
You had to go and be a hero
42
They made a law that you had to go and fight
43
One more crazy war
44
compulsory hero
45
Just try and make it home
46
Just try and make it home
47
But whose gonna make it home
