[J.J. Cale, Eric Clapton - When This War Is Over lyrics]

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

Ain't no sense in no action
Killing people all the time
Ain't no sense in no action
Killing people all the time
When it happens on the street
We call that a crime

Man, he can't get along, he just won't agree
Who is right and who is
Wrong don't matter you see
All we know is killing 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

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
