Man, he can get along
He just won't agree
Who's right and who's wrong
The matter you see
All of those killings
That ain't the way to go
Gotta get a plan
And change our ways you know

When this war is over
It will be a better day
When this war is over
It will be a better day
But it won't bring back
Those poor boys in their graves
