Hey
When you're old enough to handle it
I will portion out the truth for you
Help you in understanding gravity
How it pulls us from the cradle
And our whole lives through
I used to be such a radical
One angry young man
But somewhere along the way
I got lazy, lost my faith
I got fat and disillusioned
Just like everybody else
Whith a feeling that no one
Really paid attention anyway
If you know what I mean
The war is over
Some things can't be undone
I'm sorry that I failed you so hard
For any damage that I may have caused
You got so many things ahead of you
You got so many places to see
But the war is over for me
I'm waking up from a nightmare
Still believing there are zombies in the house
It made me feel just likeThe Dice Man
Ready to try just about anything that I hadn't tried
Now I'm seeing all these people
Who ones were my friends
They say, "Hey! How do you do?
How's the wife? How's the kids? How's the dog?"
Knowing that none of them will ever be the same again
Well, I guess I didn't really set the world on fire myself
Now did I?
The war is over
Some things can't be undone
I'm sorry that I failed you so hard
For any damage that I may have caused
You got so many things ahead of you
You got so many places to see
But the war is over for me
The war is over
Some things can't be undone
I'm sorry that I failed you so hard
For any damage that I may have caused
You've got so many things ahead of you
You've got so many places to see
But the war is over for me
Yeah the war is over for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Aye, aye, aye, oh, oh, oh
Aye
