Paper Lace had "Billy Don't Be A Hero".

Substitute Billy for Johnny and it fits, perhaps this is the song you're looking for..

The marchin' band came down along Main Street

The soldier-blues fell in behind

I looked across and there I saw Billy

Waiting to go and join the line

And with her head upon his shoulder

His young and lovely fiancee

From where I stood, I saw she was cryin'

And through her tears I heard her say

"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"

"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"

And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"

"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"

The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside

The battle raging all around

The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on, boys"

"We got to hold this piece a'ground"

"I need a volunteer to ride up"

"And bring us back some extra men"

And Billy's hand was up in a moment

Forgettin' all the words she said

She said

"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"

"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"

And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"

"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"

I heard his fiancee got a letter

That told how Billy died that day

The letter said that he was a hero

She should be proud he died that way

I heard she threw that letter away

No army lyric, but 'American'?

I'm Afraid Of Americans - David Bowie

Johnny's in America, low-techs at the wheel

No one needs anyone, they dont even just pretend

Johnny's in America

I'm afraid of Americans

I'm afraid of the world

I'm afraid I can't help it

I'm afraid I can't

Johnny's in America

Johnny wants a brain, Johnny wants to suck on a coke

Johnny wants a woman, Johnny wants to think of a joke

Johnny's in America

I'm afraid of Americans

I'm afraid of the world

I'm afraid I can't help it

I'm afraid I can't

Johnny's in America

Johnny's in America, Johnny looks up at the stars

Johnny combs his hair and Johnny wants p***y and cars

Johnnys in America

I'm afraid of Americans

I'm afraid of the world

I'm afraid I can't help it

I'm afraid I can't

Johnny's in America

God is an American

I'm afraid of Americans

I'm afraid of the world

I'm afraid I can't help it

I'm afraid I can't

I'm afraid of Americans

I'm afraid of the words

I'm afraid I can't help it

I'm afraid I can't

Johnny's in America
