War Is Over Lyrics - Kinks

Old soldiers talk about the battles fought 

To build a better world for me and you 

They sacrificed their lives to make a dream come true 

Now they're forgotten men remembered by so few 

But the war is over 

And the fighting ended many years ago 

The war is over 

The battle's won but what is there to show? 

Side by side they marched together 

Fighting so their children could be free 

To build a better world, a new society 

All classes unified to live in harmony

Now the war is over 

So let's forget and leave the past alone 

The war is over 

It's time for all the soldiers to go home 

Rich men, poor men make history 

Fighting for the land of hope and glory 

A nation's voice will sing as one 

A battle cry until we've won 

The war is over 

And the patriotic comrades are no more 

The war is over 

Now they're going home to live just like before 

Arm in arm we sang our patriotic songs 

Of love and sentiment 

Tears of joy to hide the sorrow 

New tomorrows till we meet again 

Photos 

With a new world to build we'll say, "Auf weidersein" 

What did they do for us? What did it prove to us? 

As we stand beside the silent grave 

The unknown soldier can't be saved 

The war is over, the war is over 

It's time for all the soldiers to go home 

The war is over
