They talk about collateral damage
Don't want to know what reality is
We send our boys to support a lie
Watching the news to see people die
They talk about the ultimate sacrifice
And try to disguise the greed in their eyes
Our boys are shipped off to the crisis
We cheer them on as the deathtoll rises
Bomb children 10 miles away
Well done you saved the day
We sit back and enjoy the show
Welcome back 'mister hero'
