Kathy Mar - No Heroes Lyrics
Chorus: We are not the heroes, all the words we say can never change it We are not the heroes, rewrite history or rearrange it We are not 'the white hats', they are not 'the black' And none of us on either side can save our children On the day that we attack I watch my babies sleeping, and they are barely twoThey look out on a universe that's magical and newI sit here and imagine, in this smug, heroic nationWhat my children will look like next yearAs they die of radiationWe all move our missiles closer to our enemies, untilWe are forced to use computers to decide just when to killBut computers have no judgement, or no love or hope or fearSo mistakes are that much easierAnd nightmares cluster near ChorusI do not sing of spirits, so you're probably not scaredYou couldn't do a thing about it, even if you caredYou are helpless pawns of masters, or you're blind and deaf and dumbAnd you're also not responsible ("all so" ? - C. ;-) )For what surely has to comeSome are dying of diseases, so we're proud that we're not illIf we cannot push the button, it's not our fault bombs can killThough we never reach to help, we didn't make the stumbler fallWhen our children feel the atom's kissWe'll share no blame at all Chorus
