Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When this war is over
It will be a better day
When this war is over
It will be a better day
But it won't bring back
Those poor boys in their graves
[Verse 2]
Ain't no sense in no action
Killin' people all the time
Ain't no sense in no action
Killin' people all the time
When it happens on the street
We call that a crime
[Verse 3]
Man, he can't get along
He just won't agree
Who's right and who's wrong
The matter you see
[Verse 4]
All of those killings
That ain't the way to go
Gotta get a plan
And change our ways you know
[Verse 5]
When this war is over
It will be a better day
When this war is over
It will be a better day
But it won't bring back
Those poor boys in their graves
[Verse 6]
When this war is over
It will be a better day
When this war is over
It will be a better day
But it won't bring back
Those poor boys in their graves
