The War Is Over

The War Is Over - Cage The Elephant

Lyrics by：Cage The Elephant

Composed by：Cage The Elephant

When I was a young man I never needed anyone

Bruised and broken shattered always on the run

Sleepin' on a half-smile layin' in the shadows

I became a rich man I held the world up with my hands

Inside I was a poor man still screaming I don't understand

Why am I always running

Why am I always hiding

What's the point in living when living feels like dying

You can build your walls love will tear it down

You can hide your heart inside a man-made house

You can build your walls build 'em to the sky

One day you will find love was on both sides

The war is over

I came upon a wise man he said sit beside me son

When I was a young man I was like you the prodigal son

Stayed behind a half-smile hidin' in the shadows

Tell 'em that it's all right tell 'em 'cause you said so

You can build your walls love will tear it down

You can hide your heart inside a man-made house

You can build your walls build 'em to the sky

One day you will find love was on both sides

The war is over love's already won

The war is over the war is over

The war is over love's already won

The war is over the war is over

I don't understand just feels so wrong

I feel so wrong

I know what follows what follows

You can build your walls but love will tear it down

You can hide your heart inside a man-made house

You can build your walls build 'em to the sky

One day you will find love was on both sides

The war is over love's already won

The war is over the war is over

The war is over love's already won

The war is over the war is over
