HE'S A HERO   (B. Hüppin / SUISA)

Johnny was still a little boy
When he went into the fields
Though he never knew the reason
He was to fight the enemies
Got a gun and a uniform
That made his momma proud
Even though she never doubted
What it was all about

(Chorus 1) 
He's a hero - unknown and unnamed
He's a hero - who's the one to blame
It's sad to live for no reason
On this we all agree
But then dying for no reason
Seems even worse to me

In a game completely useless
His life was what it took
Along with so many others
Never named in history books
The game was won, rulers cheerin'
But their gain is his loss
Cause six feet deep he's lying
Beneath a wooden cross

(Chorus 2)
He's a hero - unknown and unnamed
He's a hero - who's the one to blame
He's a hero - his momma's crying loud
He's a hero - though she seemed so proud
It's sad to live for no reason...
