When This War Is Over

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
