hero of war/världens finaste låt

He said, 
"Son, Have you seen the world? 
Well, what would you say If I said that you could? 
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid" 
I said, "That sounds pretty good"


Black leather boots 
Spit-shined so bright 
They cut off my hair but it looked alright 
We marched and we sang 
We all became friends 
As we learned how to fight 

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be 
And when I come home 
They'll be damn proud of me 
I'll carry this flag 
To the grave if I must 
Because it's flag that I love 
And a flag that I trust


I kicked in the door 
I yelled my commands 
The children, they cried 
But I got my man 
We took him away 
A bag over his face 
From his family and his friends 

They took off his clothes 
They pissed in his hands 
I told them to stop 
But then I joined in 
We beat him with guns 
And batons not just once 
But again and again 

A hero of war 
Yeah that's what I'll be 
And when I come home 
They'll be damn proud of me 
I'll carry this flag 
To the grave if I must 
Because it's flag that I love 
And a flag that I trust


She walked through bullets and haze 
I asked her to stop 
I begged her to stay 
But she pressed on 
So I lifted my gun 
And I fired away 

And the shells jumped through the smoke 
And into the sand 
That the blood now had soaked 
She collapsed with a flag in her hand 
A flag white as snow 

A hero of war 
Is that what they see 
Just medals and scars 
So damn proud of me 
And I brought home that flag 
Now it gathers dust 
But it's a flag that I love 
It's the only flag I trust


He said, 
"Son, have you seen the world"? 
"Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
