Hero Of War by Rise Against

He said, "Son
Have you seen the world?
Oh, what would you say
If I said that you could?
Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid."
I said, "That sounds pretty good."

Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it (1)____________ alright
We marched and we sang
We all (2)____________ friends
As we learned how to fight

A hero of war
Yeah, that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn (3)__________ of me
I'll carry (4)________ flag
To the grave if I must
'Cause it's the flag that I love
And the flag that I trust
I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, (5)________ cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I (6)________ them to stop
But Then I joined in
We beat him (7)________ guns
And (8)____________ not just once
But again and again

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I (9)________ home
They'll be (10)________ proud of me
I'll carry (11)________ flag
To the grave if I must
'Cause it's the flag that I love
And a flag (12)________ I trust

She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she (13)______________ start
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away

And the shells jumped through the smoke
And (14)________ the sand
That the (15)__________ now had soaked
She (16)__________________ with a flag in her hand
A flag white of snow

A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just (17)____________ and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home (18)________ flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's the flag that I love
It's the only (19)________ I trust
He said, "Son, (20)________ you (21)________ the world?
Well (22)________ would you say
If I (23)________ that you could?"
