about

The eldest of an American family goes to war for the pride of his parents.

lyrics

How to make Daddy proud of me?
How to make my mother happy
I want to be a leading man
Wherever I go, I will be respected

“Choose your colors and tell me what you need
We’ll give you everything you want
If you fight at our side”

I will be a hero
Guardian of the American flag

Wherever we go, we’ve got God’s protection
And nothing to fear

Stars and stripes give my mom a smile
American eagle is flying over my head
In a jeep rolling to the sound of bombs
I feel a shiver, the dust rises while my body falls

Am I a hero if I have a full weapon charger?
Was it wrong of me to kill for glory?
And I realize that God has no side

Daddy isn’t proud of me
Everyday he drinks too much whisky
Empty bottles stacking up, stacking up at the basement
Moms not smiling, she just looks at my cold body
It’s my little brother’s turn to be

Mom’s hero
