You Ain't No Hero Songtext
von John Edmond

You ain′t no hero when you kill a child and you cannot cry.
You ain't no hero when you shoot a liner from the sky.
You ain′t no hero when you're preaching fear and hate
And you shy away from battles with the soldiers of our state.

And you left your land of sunshine,
You say against your will.
Then they washed your mind with evil
And they taught you how to kill.
Ah! But they forgot tell you
'Bout the ever watching eye
Of the maker of the universe
And His Kingdom in the sky.


You ain′t no hero when you kill a child and you cannot cry.
You ain′t no hero when you shoot a liner from the sky.
You ain't no hero when you′re preaching fear and hate
And you shy away from battles with the soldiers of our state.

And you came back to your birthland
With your so called cause.
And you killed the meek and helpless
And the servants of the Lord.
Then you crawled off in the darkness
To the devil's hiding place.
Now you serve no creed or country
Let alone the human race.

You ain′t no hero when you kill a child and you cannot cry.
You ain't no hero when you shoot a liner from the sky.
You ain′t no hero when you're preaching fear and hate
And you shy away from battles with the soldiers of our state.
You shy away from battles with the soldiers of our state.
