Don't be a hero Heroes are so sad Don't be a hero It'll just make you feel bad Beware of the candyman He doesn't realize that the present that he's brought to you Is gonna burn out your eyes Old Pharaoh's daughter once awallowed a grain Which took her to Hades Where they blew out her brain And all the physicians justo looked on in shame While from the walls of the temple They erased her name "I'll see you tomorrow" I heard someone say The man he was talking to had faded away O how he must have cried When he was alone For the devil had taken his soul And the snow had froze him to the bone God's living herb is okay I suppose But the thorn in your side once grew on a rose So just take it easy, that's all I beseech For love is the highest high you can reach
