War Is Over - The Kinks
Old soldiers talk about the battles fought
To build a better world for me and you
They sacrificed their lives to make a dream come true
Now they're forgotten men remembered by so few
But the war is over and the fighting ended many years ago
The war is over the battle's won
But what is there to show
Side by side they marched together fighting so their children
Could be free
To build a better world a new society
All classes unified to live in harmony
Now the war is over so let's forget
And leave the past alone
The war is over it's time for all
The soldiers to go home
Rich men poor men make history
Fighting for the land of hope and glory
A nation's voice will sing as one
A battle cry until we've won
The war is over and
The patriotic comrades are no more
The war is over
Now they're going home to live
Just like before
Arm in arm we sang our patriotic songs of love and sentiment
Tears of joy to hide the sorrow
New tomorrows till we meet again
With a new world to build
We'll say auf weidersein
What did they do for us
What did it prove to us
As we stand beside the silent grave
The unknown soldier can't be saved
The war is over
The war is over it's time for all
The soldiers to go home
The war is over
