Hey When you're old enough to handle it I will portion out the truth for you Help you in understanding gravity How it pulls us from the cradle And our whole lives through I used to be such a radical One angry young man But somewhere along the way I got lazy, lost my faith I got fat and disillusioned Just like everybody else Whith a feeling that no one Really paid attention anyway If you know what I mean The war is over Some things can't be undone I'm sorry that I failed you so hard For any damage that I may have caused You got so many things ahead of you You got so many places to see But the war is over for me I'm waking up from a nightmare Still believing there are zombies in the house It made me feel just likeThe Dice Man Ready to try just about anything that I hadn't tried Now I'm seeing all these people Who ones were my friends They say, "Hey! How do you do? How's the wife? How's the kids? How's the dog?" Knowing that none of them will ever be the same again Well, I guess I didn't really set the world on fire myself Now did I? The war is over Some things can't be undone I'm sorry that I failed you so hard For any damage that I may have caused You got so many things ahead of you You got so many places to see But the war is over for me The war is over Some things can't be undone I'm sorry that I failed you so hard For any damage that I may have caused You've got so many things ahead of you You've got so many places to see But the war is over for me Yeah the war is over for me Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Aye, aye, aye, oh, oh, oh Aye
