about

Lyrics written after watching the movie Apocalypse Now, and thinking about the war in Afghanistan. Later re-recorded at Maskinen in the autumn of 1984 with Groll on drums for the compilation We Don't Need Your Nuclear Force, Mülleimer, 1986. Clearly influenced by GBH.

lyrics

War Heroes
Can you hear them fighting, not so far away?
Doesn't it feel frightening?
They're going to reach you the very next day

Chorus:
People pay with their lives
Tho' there is no reason why
People pay with their lives
Tho' there is no reason why
War Heroes
War Heroes

You know you're gonna kill
You know you're gonna die
I know it makes you ill
But you never wondered why

Chorus:

Can you hear your baby scream?
When they tell her that you're dead
That wasn't a part of her dream
A bullet in your head

Chorus:
