《The War Is Over(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The War Is Over - Phil Ochs

[00:00:03] Silent soldiers on a silver screen

[00:00:10] Framed in fantasies and dragged in dream

[00:00:17] Unpaid actors of the mystery

[00:00:24] The mad director knows

[00:00:27] that freedom will not make you free

[00:00:31] And what's this got to do with me

[00:00:35] I declare the war is over

[00:00:41] It's over, it's over

[00:00:50] Drums are drizzling on a grain of sand

[00:00:57] Fading rhythms of a fading land

[00:01:04] Prove your courage in the proud parade

[00:01:11] Trust your leaders

[00:01:14] where mistakes are almost never made

[00:01:18] And they're afraid that I'm afraid

[00:01:22] I'm afraid the war is over

[00:01:28] It's over, it's over

[00:01:36] Angry artists painting angry signs

[00:01:43] Use their vision just to blind the blind

[00:01:51] Poisoned players of a grizzly game

[00:01:58] One is guilty and the other gets the point to blame

[00:02:04] Pardon me if I refrain

[00:02:08] I declare the war is over

[00:02:14] It's over, it's over

[00:02:28] So do your duty, boys, and join with pride

[00:02:36] Serve your country in her suicide

[00:02:43] Find the flags, so you can wave goodbye

[00:02:51] But just before the end even

[00:02:54] treason might be worth a try

[00:02:57] This country is too young to die

[00:03:02] I declare the war is over

[00:03:07] It's over, it's over

[00:03:16] One-legged veterans will greet the dawn

[00:03:22] And they're whistling marches as they mow the lawn

[00:03:31] And the gargoyles only sit and grieve

[00:03:38] The gypsy fortune teller told me

[00:03:42] that we'd been deceived

[00:03:44] You only are what you believe

[00:03:49] I believe the war is over

[00:03:54] It's over, it's over
