Your daddy died a hero they tell him, your daddy died so brave
But all that little boy understands is his daddy's name on a grave
Your husband died a hero they tell her, he died so we could live free
But all i really wants, she says, is my husband here with me
Your son died a hero they tell them, he died so this war could be won
But the parents don't really care about war, all they want back is their son
Your friend died a hero, they tell them, he died so this violence will finally end
But war isn't the answer they say, and now weave lost another friend
You died a hero, they tell him, you died so others could live without strife
But he doesn't care about others, all he wants back is his life
