Rise against-Hero of War(alt lyrics)
I said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just learn what you need and you'll even get friends."
He said "That sounds pretty lame."
Brown leather sleaves
Eye-glasses so bright
I cut off my hair, so I'd look alright.
I taught and I preached
They didn't play nice.
As I learned them to count.
A teacher of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
I'll be too tired to sleep
I'll carry this job
To the grave if I must
Because it's a job that I got
And a job that I must.
I walked through the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I raised my hand
I beat them all sane
A slap over their face
For their complaints and their fails.
They ruined my chair.
They pissed on my desk.
I told them to stop
But they never did.
I threathened with guns.
And batons not just once
But again and again
A teacher of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
I'll be too tired to sleep
I'll carry this job
To the grave if I must
Because it's a job that I got
And a job that I must.
They did not respect rules
I asked them to stop
I begged them to sit
But they pressed on
So I lifted my hand
And I slapped them again
The kids jumped through the room
And through the window
All the blood was their own.
Thats what, I told all the cops
A lie white as snow
A teacher of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
I'll be too tired to sleep
I'll carry this job
To the grave if I must
Because it's a job that I got
And a job that I must.
I said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
