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
