[00:00.00]War Is Over - The Kinks
[00:06.56]Old soldiers talk about the battles fought
[00:11.37]To build a better world for me and you
[00:17.70]They sacrificed their lives to make a dream come true
[00:25.12]Now they're forgotten men remembered by so few
[00:33.56]But the war is over and the fighting ended many years ago
[00:41.23]The war is over the battle's won
[00:45.73]But what is there to show
[00:48.58]Side by side they marched together fighting so their children
[00:55.30]Could be free
[00:58.61]To build a better world a new society
[01:06.10]All classes unified to live in harmony
[01:14.40]Now the war is over so let's forget
[01:19.22]And leave the past alone
[01:22.09]The war is over it's time for all
[01:26.73]The soldiers to go home
[01:37.19]Rich men poor men make history
[01:40.89]Fighting for the land of hope and glory
[01:44.47]A nation's voice will sing as one
[01:51.91]A battle cry until we've won
[02:14.49]The war is over and
[02:17.80]The patriotic comrades are no more
[02:21.64]The war is over
[02:24.99]Now they're going home to live
[02:26.44]Just like before
[02:29.34]Arm in arm we sang our patriotic songs of love and sentiment
[02:40.40]Tears of joy to hide the sorrow
[02:43.97]New tomorrows till we meet again
[02:50.17]With a new world to build
[02:53.15]We'll say auf weidersein
[02:57.70]What did they do for us
[03:01.43]What did it prove to us
[03:05.39]As we stand beside the silent grave
[03:08.26]The unknown soldier can't be saved
[03:13.76]The war is over
[03:21.22]The war is over it's time for all
[03:25.80]The soldiers to go home
[03:36.27]The war is over
