Remember the times when we were kids
Playing war games in your yard
Everybody had to be a hero
And get one in the heart
Night would fall and we'd call a truce
And all go home
Years went by we were average guys
Playing life by the rule of thumb
Till a man came on the TV
Talking 'bout war like he wanted one
He said "Everybody line up, backs to the wall
Till your numbers called"
You've gotta go and be a hero
I've got a new game for all you boys
Its war without a choice
Compulsory hero
Just try and make it home
Grandpa heard the call to all
For a war to end all wars
And your dad went off to do his bit
And he had to go one more
You've really got no say in it
You have to fight
And that's the law
Playing war games in your yard
Everybody had to be a hero
