War Is Over

kit, bass, guitar, maracas, vox, synth


In a dumbed down world, got to get smart about it
Life change coming round and we can't live without it
The failure trade's a smash, in misery they trust
When empire falls, they'll gamble with the dust

We will shift down inside
We will coast up that hill
We need a brand new ride
And we'll know peace the day we

Hear that war is over on the whistling wind
Read that war is over on a crashing wave
Run our bright tomorrow on our favourite star
Favourite star

Syncrude, BP, Shell have no concern for next year
Walmart gets to sell their toxic sweatshop junk here
Shoot down the drones and turn them into windmills
The only wells we need are ones that get refilled

We will shift down inside
We will coast up that hill
We need a brand new ride
And we'll know peace the day we

Hear that war is over on the whistling wind
Read that war is over on a crashing wave
Run our bright tomorrow on our favourite star
Favourite star
