The Battle is over (But the War Goes on)

[Verse 1]
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'
The battle is over, but the war goes on

[Verse 2]
Everybody plays follow the leader
But what if the leader have a gun?
Remember when you jumped
To the eight o’clock whistle
The battle is over, but the war goes on
The battle is over, but the war goes on

[Verse 3]
You close your eyes when you hear the thunder
And cry in the rain and you smile in the sun
But who do you fool, but me and you, brother?
Yeah, the battle is over, but the war goes on
Yeah, the battle is over, but the war goes on

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
If talk was money, you'd be a millionaire, mm
Yeah, and if thoughts could kill, there'd be nobody here
Yeah, so many thinkin’ evil and talkin' lies
When it's only true love keeps this world live

[Outro]
Yeah, the battle is over, but the war goes on (Yeah)
The battle is over, but the war goes on
The battle is over, but the war goes on
Yeah, the battle
Yeah, the, yeah, the battle is over, but the war goes on
The battle is over, but the war goes on
The battle is over
Battle is over, but the war goes on
Yeah, the battle is over, but the war goes on
Yeah, the battle is over
