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'

Battle is over, but the war go on

Everybody plays follow the leader

What if the leader has a gun

Remember when you jumped to the eight o'clock whistle

Battle is over, but the war go on

You close your eyes when you hear the thunder

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 no one here

So many thinkin' evil and talkin' jive

But it's in only true love, this old world can stay alive

The battle is over

The battle is over you, but the war goes on

The battle is over you, but the war goes on
