Where Heroes Go
Somebody tell me where to go
Where heroes go
When they need saving
I'm sure it's not the place I know
Those years ago
Where we were paving
The times have changed
There's no more iron in those creases
But, still the same
It seems the fighting never ceases
Found out today, a better way
They needed us
to free the Congo
Will cost us more, but we got more
to spend on those
that need their freedom
During these times
It seems the fighting never ends
Democracy
Let freedom ring until the end
And if it cost us more, what then?
Can we then spend
All of our savings
Just what is it that we get back?
Personal sat-
isfaction? Pleasing?
I think I know
Why we both hold our heads up high
The only way
to save the world before we die
It can not be the Palestines
All of the time
Disrupting freedom
Where does that funneled money go
Now tell us Joe
Whose cornered market?
Sometimes it's easy
Finding out who is the bad guy
And other times
it just might be who paid the bad guy
Most of the people here they go
Where worship grows
to church on Sundays
The Bible teaches, we agree
to live in peace
We need forgiveness
And tell me please
Why we are bombing in this day and age
When will we learn?
Obviously not two thousand years after they slay [Jesus]
I need vacation but, can't go
There's no place now
That we're not hated
And if I could go to a land
I'd lie in sand
That's not debated
Two thousand years
Amazingly the weaponry
is still the same
It can simply leave you lame or **** you just the same
Somebody tell me where to go
Where heroes go
When they need saving
Today, our proudest son came home
Boxed up alone
And flagged for freedom
Somebody tell me where to go
Where heroes go
When they need saving
