Lyrics
A HERO’S FATHER ã2005 Mike Strasser Our first grandchild was born the other day His dad, our son, is fighting half a world away Later that evening: Comes a knocking on our door A man and a woman saying, “Your son died a hero in the war.” I don’t want to be no hero’s father. I just want my kid back You sons of bitches that started this war Send your own kid to Iraq. My son and his wife got married a year ago last spring They were high school sweethearts full of love and the promise that it brings They wanted a family but good jobs ‘round here are far and few between And it was over my objection he enlisted with the Marines I don’t want to be no hero’s father. I don’t want to be no hero’s dad You sons of bitches that started this war Send your own kid to Baghdad. I do believe in my soul There’s a special place in hell for you Who fabricate reasons and send the young to die In a war of profit for a few I seen you on TV. With your smirk you said “Bring it on.” But when it was your turn to deliver You avoided service in Viet Nam I don’t want to be no hero’s father. I just want my kid back You sons of bitches that started this war Send your own kid to Iraq.
