Dan Mangan - Post War Blues lyrics

rate me

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
