Heroes Songtext
von Crushead

Sandy′s sitting on the stairs
Waiting after school
The father in the factory
Oh my kids are cruel
The mother in the apartment
Washing dishes every day
Days go in, days go out
Always the same

It's like one break into the next
When the father′s coming home
And he beats the mother in the face
And rapes her on the floor
A man destroyed of alcohol
In a world going insane
Broken home, broken dream
The children share the pain, so


Why? Why? Why?
So tell me why
Why don't you answer?
Why such a cancer?
Why, why child pawns?
Our heroes, you turn weak
Why don't you answer?
Why such a cancer?
Why, why child pawns?
Our heroes, you turn weak

Johnny′s lying on the killing field
Ripping people all around
And he can′t remember what he's fighting for
His soul′s a bloody wound
Propaganda words in his ears
Keep fighting for the motherland
What a mother, what a land
The weapon in his hand

But he keeps on killing all the people around
Because of what he doesn't know
And it doesn′t touch him anymore
When the mother's cry at home
What a world of sin, what a world of war
What a world of hate and lies
And teachers become preachers
I see the panic in their eyes, so


Why? Why? Why?
So tell me why
Why don′t you answer?
Why such a cancer?
Why, why child pawns?
Our heroes, you turn weak
Why don't you answer?
Why such a cancer?
Why, why child pawns?
Our heroes, you turn weak

So tell me why don't you answer?
Why such a cancer?
Why, why child pawns?
Our heroes, you turn weak
Why don′t you answer?
Why such a cancer?
Why, why child pawns?
Our heroes, you turn weak

Why don′t you answer?
Why such a cancer?
Why, so tell me why
Why, why, why, why?
So tell me why?
