(Yeah) Always a fan of planes man, I loved to fly My dad was a soldier too, I never questioned why When they told me I was droppin' and my momma cried I simply kissed her on the head and promised not to die Gun in my hand over 10,000 feet Thought about my life and I wished it was unique Droppin' down prepared for the ground under my feet Gun cocked and ready, sweat drippin' down my cheek The mission was simple, kill the man and flee If ever to be discovered, make sure they meet defeat Kill the man, yeah, at least that's what the plan was I'm steady held down in a corridor surrounded by a gang of thugs Thought of my dad and I hoped that he was proud The only time he cared was when he found out I was army-bound Probably at home right now, safe and sound Little does he know, that his boy's about to be put in the ground If freedom is love, and love is turmoil Then what the f*ck is freedom? Just another barrel of oil? Is that the reason we're spilling blood on the soil? Maybe I'm a hero, maybe I'm a hero If freedom is love, and love is a lie Is that the reason that they send our youth to fucking die? Maybe they should listen when all these widows cry Maybe I'm a hero, maybe I'm a hero, yeah Liutenant Johnson, I'm feeling nauseous, my head's throbbin' Think of the mother and son, that were my targets But they had their weapons, it was me or them, I'm being honest But I could see the fear in their eyes and cold sweat on 'em All I ever wanted was a free ride through college All I ever wanted was to be a man, feel accomplished Now all I think about is screaming, "put down your weapons Don't make me fire, don't make me shoot" Please God don't make this happen Please God, I just need a release Think of the pine boxes of sweet teas Mother forgive me but these thoughts just won't cease, yeah Try to brush it off but there's really no use Put the barrel up to my head and let this hot lead loose They call me a hero, and this is what I do Ask not, what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country
