Come and take my eldest son, show him how to shoot a gun<br>
Wipe his eyes if he starts to cry when the bullets fly.<br>
Give him a rifle, take his hoe, show him a field where he can go<br>
To lay his body down and die without asking why<br>
<br>
Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero<br>
But there are millions who want to be civilians<br>
Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero<br>
But there are millions who want to be civilians<br>
<br>
Sticks and stones can break your bones; even names can hurt you<br>
But the thing that hurts the most is when a man deserts you<br>
Don’t you think its time to weed the leaders that no longer lead<br>
>From the people of the land who’d like to see their sons again?<br>

God if men could only see the lessons taught by history<br>
That all the singers of this song cannot right a single wrong<br>
Let all men of good will stay in the fields they have to till<br>
Feed the mouths they have to fill and cast away their arms<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
