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 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 Man, he can get along He just won't agree Who's right and who's wrong The matter you see All of those killings That ain't the way to go Gotta get a plan And change our ways you know 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 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
