The War Is Over lyrics

Silent soldiers on a silver screen Framed in fantasies and drugged in dream Unpaid actors of the mystery The mad director knows that freedom will not make you free And what's this got to do with me? I declare the war is over It's over, it's over Drums are drizzling on a grain of sand Fading rhythms of a fading land Prove your courage in the proud parade Trust your leaders where mistakes are almost never made And they're afraid that I'm afraid I'm afraid the war is over It's over, it's over Angry artists painting angry signs Use their vision just to blind the blind Poisoned players of a grisly game One is guilty and the other gets the point to blame Pardon me if I refrain I declare the war is over It's over, it's over So do your duty, boys, and join with pride Serve your country in her suicide Find a flag so you can wave goodbye But just before the end even treason might be worth a try This country is too young to die
