Kathy Mar - No Heroes lyrics

� 19?? Kathy Mar 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 two They look out on a universe that's magical and new I sit here and imagine, in this smug, heroic nation What my children will look like next year As they die of radiation We all move our missiles closer to our enemies, until We are forced to use computers to decide just when to k** But computers have no judgement, or no love or hope or fear So mistakes are that much easier And nightmares cluster near Chorus I do not sing of spirits, so you're probably not scared You couldn't do a thing about it, even if you cared You are helpless pawns of masters, or you're blind and deaf and dumb And you're also not responsible ("all so" ? - C. ;-) ) For what surely has to come Some are dying of diseases, so we're proud that we're not ill If we cannot push the bu*ton, it's not our fault bombs can k** Though we never reach to help, we didn't make the stumbler fall When our children feel the atom's kiss We'll share no blame at all Chorus
