Translation
Bilingual
No-name schoolboy, awful green
Trained, ordained as a mean marine
Now they can't fuck with the tough young buck'
Cradlin' an m-fourteen
Da dat da da
Teach a gook to hold a gun
Serve your year and then you're done
Homeward bound and the boy gets crowned
As cleveland's new fav'rite son
At the hometown hero's ticker tape parade
Cotton candy and lemonade
It's a hometown hero's ticker tape parade
Can't get that at the penny arcade
Da dat da da
Dat da da dat da da da
Da dat da da
Dat da da da da da
Main street blocked all afternoon
A band on hand with a marchin' tune
Your name is wailed
The blimp's unveiled
Your face on a big balloon
Da dat da da
Watchin' busty
Blondes compete ain't that sweet
Drawin claws
Like cats in heat ooh yeah
Let em' fight to spend the night
And stain up
That nice white sheet yeah
At the hometown hero's ticker tape parade
Tellin' tales of a brave brigade
A hometown hero's ticker tape parade
It's your time to shine
Time to get laid
Da dat da da
Dat da da
Dat da da da
Da dat da da
Dat da da
Da da da
A hero don't get soft dat da da
A hero don't retreat dat da da
He's gonna get his way dat da da
'Cause he won't accept defeat
Dat da da
Guys like me and you oh
We're heroes through and through
All
Semper fi
Do or die
You're a goddam hero
Can't you hear it boys
You're a goddam hero
Can't you hear it boys
Comin' comin'
Comin' comin'
I'm a goddamn hero!
Comin' comin' comin'
At the hometown hero's ticker tape parade
No confetti for the boys who stayed
Hometown hero's ticker tape parade
You win a war
You pick a wife
You get respect
Your whole damn life
You're a hometown hero
Who gets a motherfuckin'
Ticker tape parade
Da dat da da
Dat da da da da da
