The War Is Over Song Lyrics
The War Is Over by Jonathan Richman The war is over
We've got no one to blame
But ourselves in the end
I walked into New York
I didn't have the soul I would need to survive
I stand here before you
Barren, broken, weathered and worn
A man told me once
I would fear what I'd become
And then he told me
I'd regret all the that I'd done
The war is over
We've got no one to blame
But ourselves in the end
I walked to the river
I could see the end of the world in your eyes
The atmosphere shattered
There's conflict on the other side
A man told me once
I would fear what we've become
And then he told me
Life is better off lived all alone
All alone
All alone
While the prospect is daunting, I find myself wondering if maybe he's right after all
All alone
All alone
I keep trying to save us, but I'm not a savior and I don't know what I've done wrong
