I've been to hell but I came through
And now they say I'm not good for you
Your Mammy says I'm a technical hitch
And your Daddy says I'm a son of a b**h
Life ain't the same for a man of war
Don't even know what I was fightin' for
They say k** I say why - no mercy too late to cry
So many memories too much pain
Same old nightmares again and again
Guns to the left of me guns to the right
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Only the strong survive
You've got to come and get me if you want me alive
Looks like I'm left on the shelf
I'm just a prisoner within myself
Try so hard but can't break free
Everybody's giving me the third degree
Brand me a k**er brand me a liar
My head is spinning but my hearts on fire
Name, rank and number my lips are sealed
I'll keep my shooting for the battlefield
So many memories too much pain
Same old nightmares again and again
Guns to the left of me guns to the right
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Only the strong survive
You've got to come and get me if you want me alive
No where to run no where to go
No where to hide when the lights are low
No one to feel no one to touch
No wonder I'm feeling tired so much
So many memories too much pain
Same old nightmares again and again
Guns to the left of me guns to the right
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Only the strong survive
You've got to come and get me if you want me alive
