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

guitar solo

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:
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

Oh this is, this is post war blues
