Come on, put your hands together like this.
If you sing [Gm] the song [G] the way it [Gm] was written, [G] and you march along to the beat [D] of the drum,
[Gm] Someday soon, [G] you're gonna wake [C] up singing,
The battle [G] is over, but the war goes on.
Everybody plays, follow the leader,
But [C] what if [G] the leader [D] picks up a gun?
[G] Remember when you jump [C] to the 8 o'clock whistle,
The [G] battle is over, [D] but the war [G] goes on.
And if you close your eyes, when you hear the thunder,
And you're flying away, and smiling [D] the sun,
Who do [G] you fool, [Gm] but [C] me and your brother,
The battle [G] is over, [D] but the war [G] goes on.

It's only [G] true love, keeps this world alive.
And if you sing the song the way it was written,
And you march along to the beat [D] of the drum,
[G] Someday soon, you're gonna wake [C] up singing,
The [G]
battle is over, [D] but the [G] war goes on.
