Metallica - Disposable Heroes lyrics
[Metallica - Disposable Heroes lyrics]
Bodies fill the fields I see
Hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields
Bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
A servant 'til I fall
Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell
Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say
Finished here, greeting death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say you must die
Back to the front
You coward, you servant, you blind man
Barking of machine-gun fire does
Nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks
Get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you wear
Glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends
Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell
Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say
Finished here, greeting death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say you must die
Back to the front
You coward, you servant, you blind man
Why am I dying? Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying hell, hell is here
Why am I dying? Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying hell, hell is here
I was born for dying
Life planned out before my birth
Nothing could I say
Had no chance to see myself
Molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
Left to die with only friend, alone
I clench my gun
Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell
Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say
Finished here, greeting death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say you must die
Back to the front
You coward, you servant, you blind man
Back to the front
Back to the front back to the front
Back to the front back to the front
Hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields
Bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
A servant 'til I fall
Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell
Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say
Finished here, greeting death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say you must die
Back to the front
You coward, you servant, you blind man
Barking of machine-gun fire does
Nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks
Get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you wear
Glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends
Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell
Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say
Finished here, greeting death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say you must die
Back to the front
You coward, you servant, you blind man
Why am I dying? Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying hell, hell is here
Why am I dying? Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying hell, hell is here
I was born for dying

Back to the front back to the front
Back to the front back to the front
