    Feeling like a man
    Let’s go for a ride
    Sweet memories will fade
    When you’re torn apart inside

    Welcome home hero
    Battlesick loner
    With your head in your hands
    Could be no-one understands

    This ride’s the wrong way
    I don’t wanna be saved!

    Seeing what you see
    Stoned in your dreams
    Going home alone
    Always the same song

    I don’t wanna be saved! (x4)

    Welcome home hero
    Battlesick loner
    Everything will burn
    I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe

    I don’t wanna be saved!
    I’m in Hell!
    Let’s go!

About @ndy

I live in Melbourne, Australia. I like anarchy. I don't like nazis. I enjoy eating pizza and drinking beer. I barrack for the greatest football team on Earth: Collingwood Magpies. The 2026 premiership's a cakewalk for the good old Collingwood.

    Yawn! Boring up itself alternative punk/heavy rock with a thing about soldiers. Didn’t one or both of the brothers work in military research/engineering in Israel in the early 90s?

  2. @ndy says:

    Um… yeah… one or both brothers worked as industrial designers / engineers for an arms manufacturer (or its equivalent). Dunno about Israel tho’ — possible, given that the corps which dominate the industry are transnational.

    Still like the song but!
