A purpose for which to unite
Make them some words they can mince
What they don't know, They won't mind
Find them a foe for the fight
And stories to tell as they age
Then maybe time will decide
Which ones keep and which ones fade
[Chorus]
There's the deepest sleep in my life,
From which I am slowly coming to
And every morning I wait for the news
Oh this is, this is post war blues
Make me a means to an end
Oh make me an ending in sight
Make me insightful again
What I can't see, I can't fight
Make me a fire to burn
Burn all the letters I wrote
Write me a list of concerns
If we are at peace
If we are at ease
I want to know
[Chorus]
Oh this is, this is post war blues
Let's start a war for the kids A purpose for which to unite Make them some words they can mince What they don't know, They won't mind Find them a foe for the fight And stories to tell as they age Then maybe time will decide Which ones keep and which ones fade [Chorus] There's the deepest sleep in my life, From which I am slowly coming to And every morning I wait for the news Oh this is, this is post war blues Make me a means to an end Oh make me an ending in sight Make me insightful again What I can't see, I can't fight Make me a fire to burn Burn all the letters I wrote Write me a list of concerns If we are at peace If we are at ease I want to know [Chorus] Oh this is, this is post war blues Explain Request ×
