Metallica - Disposable Heroes (Studio Version)

From the studio album "Master of Puppets", 1986

Lyrics:

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victims of what said should be
A servant `till I fall

Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here, greetings death
He's yours to take away

Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman

Barking of machine gun fire, does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends

Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here, greetings death
He's yours to take away

Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman

Why, am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, hell is here

Why, am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
Had no chance to see myself, moulded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
Left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here, greetings death
He's yours to take away

Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman

Back to the front
Back to the front
Back to the front
Back to the front
Back to the front

thumbs up if you have the master of puppets album :D

Poignant lyrics... very relevant today as our United States continue the follies of empire and endless war. 18 year old KIDS are supposedly mature enough to be trained to kill and die in some foresaken desert for no good reason, yet not old or mature enough to enough to go have a beer?

[ThePainintheass2010]

@staphinfection i know you say you dont care, but surely you do, what if we lost? theyd take us over and we'd live by their rules or possibly shot dead, but i wish i was out there fighting, because have you ever been hunting? i killed two rabbits scurrying across a field with my fathers pistol with a single bullet, i have the skjill but diabetes is a bastard

[ThePainintheass2010]

@ThePainintheass2010 and as for fighting the USA? we'd get annihalated were a small island, and over there are so much advanced weaponry and resources theyd blow us off the face of the planet without a second thought, and either way no one would join me if i started that fight because so many people over here dont care and waste their lives doing nothing but making others a misery. what can one youngman do against a world of hypocrytical leaders? id rather live and not know than do anddie thanks

[ThePainintheass2010]

@MrPranksteer FYI im british and i aint a kid if i have a job am in college and learning to drive, look to be honest the whole idea of any government is terrorism, everywhere you go people telling you the worlds going to end and that some new disease makes you  drown in your blood and i understand that, but thats not my point, i wanted to fight for what i think is right and i cant because i was overdosed with antibiotics when i was two causing diabetes and apparently no one could prove it

[staphinfection]

@MrPerattzi Um, I don't give a fuck if a kid is 5 and wants to go fight and die in a stupid fucking war that isn't even relevant to us in anyway. It's just for money, greed, power, oil, etc etc. What I do care about is why the fuck don't we have an AGE RESTRICTION on having CHILDREN. You have to pass a fucking TEST to DRIVE! Shouldn't you have to pass a fucking TEST to BREED!?? Isn't breeding like the ultimate hardest thing to do PROPERLY in this crazy world we live in? 14 and prego, say no!

[MrPranksteer]

@ThePainintheass2010 terrorists? give me a break kid. go watch some relevant documentaries and read some real online alternative media news to see who the real terrorists are. yes that's right...US of fucking A alongside zionist Israel

[Eyehategod213gr]

Thumbs up is you buy this album in 1986!

@MrPerattzi

You know who to vote for cunt.

[ThePainintheass2010]

@sugkukenminhore sorry correction i had a bad typo previously i WOULDNT hurt anyone who didnt deserve it

[ThePainintheass2010]

@sugkukenminhore no you idiot i wanted to fight for my country in a war, but i cant because im diabetic, next time read it properly, i would hurt anyone who didnt deserve it, terrorists on the other hand, deserve it

[sugkukenminhore]

@ThePainintheass2010

and for that reason you feel the need to go out in the world and kill people?
