Metallica - Disposable Heroes Lyrics
Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
A servant 'til I fall
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty-one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here
Greetings, Death
He's yours to take away
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blind man
Barking of machine-gun fire does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory-seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty-one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here
Greetings, Death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blind man
Why, am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, hell is here
I was born for dying
Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
Had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
Left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty-one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here
Greetings, Death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blind man
Back to the front

underrated song
#BACKTOTHEFRONT
...fuckin' brilliant THRASH METAL imo...👊🤟✊🤟🥁🎸
This is the 1986 version of One 😎
This Song and One are my 2 favorite Anti War songs
I dedicate this Song to my Friend Frankie
I used to jam to this with him when we were kids
Noone on here will fully understand till they served
veteran 74... i dont agree with any of these wars that wherefaught after 911... total terror unleashed by the worlds super power on poor arab nations... infact its cowardly. I don't hate you or anything man... but lets both agree war is lousy and should definitely be a last resort.
James playing 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0, BACK IN THE FRET
4:04 - that's why I love Metallica, with these changes of rhythm and melody in the middle of the song, by surprise. They always surprise us!
ONE OF THE BEST BY METALLICA PERIOD AMEN END OF STORY
Kita peng-yu
I was looking through some poetry contest in a magazine when I was a teenager and someone ripped this song word for word and won a medal.
Soooo me and my teacher made some photo copies and put him on blast.
Now I’m a OIF/ OEF veteran and just wanna find this dude and kick him in the nads.
I was born for dying!
When Trump starts WW3 and brings back the draft
You dont got to worry bout Trump... You can worry bout Iran, Russia, N Korea, China, Islamic Front, Communism, Socialism, Anti-Americanism, Anti-Christian and Anti-Semitism.
Volume’s all the way up, still not loud enough
I thought my volume went to 11. I was wrong.
I had to stop at 152 while playing this because I literally couldnt move my hands anymore
Nor could I move my head. I banged it too much.
Imo this is Metallica's best song.
Talk about Heavy as shit😎🤘🔥
Dude the rythym of this song is just beyond everything it fuckin rips
This is a really good song, but it is so hard on Guitar Hero
excellent metalship
mentalship?
Back to the Front! Godamnit i wish this wasnt still so relevant.....
I wanted to join the army my uncle said I would become a expendable asset
If you want to join join.
Everybody’s a disposable hero if there only purpose is dying.
Best song on this album.master of puppets isn't far behind.but this is better. SOLDIER BOY MADE OF CLAY NOW AN EMPTY SHELL..
No one to play soldiers now no one to pretend, afraid to be set free always been away.
When Metallica was Metallica!!! R.I.P. (1981-1990)
Quite a difference... this and Lionel Richie - "Back to front". At 4:45 - wholly mesmerizing.
Who else will play this on there way overseas!!!!
Family and friends: *why did you join the military?*
Me: 1:59 - 2:18 but really 5:44
One of the best metal songs ever made. The lyrics are so heavy as Well.
I always thought they said "back to the fret"
WW3 is on the horizon, oh boy this songs about to touch base with a lot more people after this. And thats not a good thing I don't think
This song makes me want to fuck a woman without a condom BALLS DEEP
I feel like this will be the ww3 theme song for america
How timely this song is, today...
Straight "Lars Ullrich" Outta Tempo
War is essential. I love freedom. Thankyou to all that serve and die
my favourite Metallica song
*This will be space forces charge song! Back to the atmosphere!*
Could you immagine if this came out during veitnam war?
Disposable Mustaine's
Happy birthday Lars Urlich
“I was born for dying!” might be Jame’s best scream/yell since Phantom Lord.
Why do we need all these 2 hour lectures on why war is bad when we have metal?
We need context. Lately... people don't realize the implication of Marxism. It will always Deviate.
best guitar
Workingmans* Metallica, no doubt!☝️🤨😎👍
I played this for my dad when it came out. Conway Twitty said This Holy Shitty this is bat shit crazy
Heroes...jup; for following the orders of merchants and lying bastards, killing others for the mere reason of cash? "Helping" 3rd world slaves to get rid of any ressources that keep them fed...thank you dear hero
Literally your brain is releasing thermal energy.
Your minds are warm blooded and you radiate your thoughts as clear as day from the remotest reaches of space even for blind people.
There is always a bigger bully.
nahl ....naaahl....))))
Am russian and I only can say that good soldier is that doesn't ask questions
I love Kirk's solos during this time.
I like this song better now that I understand it. I prefer this to the title track at this point
This was way back when Metallica was truly ferocious
It's also why James lost his voice
Great fucking song. Fuck govts and fuck war
"metallica isnt metal" -my punk ex
Back to the Future > Back to the front
I just need coke or something to play solo clear as fast as the original.
Its awesome being able to hear cliffs bass so clearly on this song, in the beginning when he's tearing it up during the galloping riff, hot Damn!
Only one way yo enter promissed land n thats invisible
You just dont know if i can survive robin n my sister .....i can survive anything(:
I still remember the day back in '86 I borrowed this record from a friend at high school (In Auckland, New Zealand this music was rare as Hell). Wow, life changing. I genuinely thought Metallica were a European band. The songs had a classical music element and heaviness missing from most US bands at the time, also missing was the spandex, eye makeup, and the words “Oh baby”.
I think this is by far Metallica’s most intense song, and my personal favorite.
What a fun song to play during Veteran's Day.

Do not tell me what to do, no why.
Don't be a pawn in someone else's game.
"Bodies build the fields I see" is a great way to start a song.
Clif does this without a pick, classic genius
Just realised “back to the front” means back to the front line. *That’s deep*
Deep comment
what did you think it meant?
0:32'deki bildiğin horon yahu! :)
Some riffs sounds like Pantera
You mean Pantera sounds like those riffs, MOP was released in 86, Cowboys from Hell was released in 89.
@Bosko517 True
If we had only more of this...
The people who disliked this are disposable
The best
Imagine being 18-21 years old and being sent directly to Vietnam into the harsh reality of war and death for power control of the higher ups. The people in congress back then up until now do not give a fuck about people, only profit.
BACK TO THE FFFFFFARRRUNTTT!!!💪💪💪🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This song right here is fuckin' metal rhythm players boot camp. Gotta have your fucking right hand shit together to handle these downstrokes...and that fucking gallop of the low E string in the beginning, dear lord, he sounds like a goddamn robot, just absolute perfection. T
The improper way for women to wipe "Back to the Front!"
We need to stop fighting wars for Israel we have lost so many just to fight someone else’s wars! We don’t need to police the world.
Tell that to the power that be
Meesh, i just shit my panties.
HATE FEAR
YOU COWARD, YOU SERVENT, YOU BLIND MANNNNNNN
Rumor has it that the guy writing guitar tab at 0:32 fell asleep. 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000zzz.....
All downstroke. Try it. You can’t do it. Neither can I and I’ve been playing since God’s dog was a pup.
New favorite song underrated but a masterpiece
back when lars had a ride
Fantastic song!
POWER BABY POWER!!!
"BACK TO THE FRONT!!!!!!!"
You will load
And unload
1000 connexs
Back at the FOB
Metallica is in some way Walther von der Vogelweide. Not because playing or signing love songs, but the opposite and that's why they are the modern knights. The world is going to talk about Metallica in eight or 900 years for sure.
For the Queen. The objective is to create things when bored and not have anything happen on accident anymore.
Anyone know what band JASON NEWSTEAD PLAYS IN?
War is Hell
Your only defense against spiders is spiders.
She carries their meat with her always.
This song is fire
The heaviest riff, from the heaviest band ever. Then James plays this killer riff and songs
Why didn't Call of Duty use this song instead I wonder?
