Disposable Heroes

Disposable Heroes
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)

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
Just do 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 blindman

Barking of machinegun fire
Does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks
Get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare
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
Just do 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 blindman

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
Moulded 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
Just do 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 blindman

Back to the front
