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 killing people all the time
Ain't no sense in no action killing people all the time
When it happens on the street, we call that a crime

Man, he can't get along, he just won't agree
Who is right and who is wrong don't matter you see
All we know is killing 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
