Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wait until the war is over
And we're both a little older
The unknown soldier
[Verse 2]
Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Unborn, living, living, dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
[Verse 3]
And it's all over
For the unknown soldier
It's all over
For the unknown soldier
[Verse 4]
"Company, halt!"
"Present arms!"
[Verse 5]
Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder
The unknown soldier
[Verse 6]
Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
[Verse 7]
And it's all over
The war is over
It's all over
The war is over
[Verse 8]
It's all over, baby
All over, baby
Over, yeah
All over, baby
All over!
All over, baby
All over!
All over!
Written by: Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger
