The Battle Is Over (But The War Goes On)
If you sang the song the way it was written
And you march along to the beat of the drum
Someday soon, you gonna wake up singin'
The battle is over, but the war goes on
Everybody plays follow the leader
But what if the leader picks up a gun?
Remember when you jumped
To the eight o'clock whistle
The battle is over, but the war goes on
If you close your eyes when you hear the thunder
And you cry in the rain and smile in the sun
Who do you fool, but me and you, brother?
The battle is over, but the war goes on
If talk was money, you'd be a millionaire
If thoughts could kill, there'd be nobody here
So many thinkin' evil and talkin' guff
It's only true love keeps this world alive
If you sang the song the way it was written
And you march along to the beat of the drum
Someday soon, you gonna wake up singin'
The battle is over, but the war goes on
The battle is over, but the war goes on
And you march along to the beat of the drum
Someday soon, you gonna wake up singin'
The battle is over, but the war goes on
Everybody plays follow the leader
But what if the leader picks up a gun?
Remember when you jumped
To the eight o'clock whistle
The battle is over, but the war goes on
If you close your eyes when you hear the thunder
And you cry in the rain and smile in the sun
Who do you fool, but me and you, brother?
The battle is over, but the war goes on
If talk was money, you'd be a millionaire
If thoughts could kill, there'd be nobody here
So many thinkin' evil and talkin' guff
It's only true love keeps this world alive
If you sang the song the way it was written
And you march along to the beat of the drum
Someday soon, you gonna wake up singin'
The battle is over, but the war goes on
The battle is over, but the war goes on
