We say don´t show your guns
If you don´t intend to fight
We say don´t sleep all day
If you can´t keep awake at night
Don´t screw it up
Don´t be a hero
´Cause we don´t need them
Be a panther or a poet
Someone to light the beacon

And I wonder
Is a new day dawning?
And I wonder, is it around the corner?
I wonder, are the fighting men
still fighting men?
Do they go on and on and on?

Prepare to lose
Prepare to harden to distress
This ain´t your system
You´re just second-generation business
So don´t screw it up
Don´t be a hero
´Cause we don´t need them
No political immunity
To save your position

And I wonder, is a new day dawning?
And I wonder, is it around the corner?
I wonder, are the fighting men
still fighting men?
Do they go on and on and on?

You can´t relax
Just ´cause you´re socially secure
If you´ve forgot what you´re fighting for
We could effect a cause
So don´t screw it up
Don´t be a hero
´Cause we don´t need them
Frustration is the speed of the people
And they let it lead them
