And what's this got to do with me
Serve your country in her suicide
I declare the war is over
Angry artists painting angry signs
And the gargoyles only sit and grieve
Unpaid actors of the mystery
It's over, it's over
This country is to young to die
You only are what you believe
One is guilty and the other gets the point to blame
One-legged veterans will greet the dawn
It's over, it's over
Pardon me if I refrain
Fading rhythms of a fading land
I'm afraid the war is over
Find the flags, so you can wave goodbye
I believe the war is over
And they're afraid that I'm afraid
Use their vision just to blind the blind
And they're whistling marches as they mow the lawn
Poisoned players of a grizzly game
The gypsy fortune teller told me that we'd been deceived
Prove your courage in the proud parade
Trust your leaders where mistakes are almost never made
Drums are drizzling on a grain of sand
It's over, it's over
So do your duty, boys, and join with pride
I declare the war is over
The mad director knows that freedom will not make you free
It's over, it's over
I declare the war is over
But just before the end even treason might be worth a try
