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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
The battle is over
ย
The battle is over you, but the war goes on
The battle is over you, but the war goes on
