Disposable Hero Lyrics by Sankomota

The Writing On The Wall

0

[Verse 1]
You wonder off to war, amid cries of joy and secret pain
When and if he comes back, he'll be a hero
For now he's just a pawn
Fighting a war he didn't start
A war that he never understood
His superiors, five star hotels abroad
They go to tea parties with fat English ladies
Making silly jokes at their very own expense
But his mamma stares at faded photo props on the wall
[Chorus]
Respectable war
Disposable hero
There's a war, and the hero on the make
Respectable war
Disposable hero
There's a war (There's a war)
And the hero on the make
[Verse 2]
In this day of cries
Worn out with poverty
They already bought him the rights to his life
How he lives the best
Ain't his business but the world's
While they keep on singing
Drinking whisky all day long
On the morning news on television
The big shots down street down the middle [?]
The messiah healer have some money
So he's gonna be first on that plane [?]
His illusion, he turned his back on the war
A broken soul [?] stand a chance
As a soldier, a soldier of fortune
He is quickly labelled a a back-stabber (Couldn't take no more)
No more party jokes
[Chorus]
Respectable war
Disposable hero
There's a war, and the hero on the make
Respectable war
Disposable hero, hero
There's a war (There's a war)
And the hero on the make
Respectable war
Disposable hero
There's a war (There's a war)
And the hero on the make
Respectable war
Disposable hero, hero
There's a war (There's a war)
And the hero on the make
Respectable war
Disposable hero, hero
There's a war
And the hero on the make
Respectable war
Disposable hero, hero
There's a war
And the hero on the make
Respectable war
Disposable hero
There's a war
And the hero on the make
Respectable war
Disposable hero, hero
There's a war (There's a war)
And the hero on the make
Respectable war
Disposable hero
There's a war
And the hero on the make
