All the Wars from Now On

[00:26.86] Hey Bill, Hey Don, Hey Roger, Hey Ron
[00:32.51] Four Purple Hearts full of war stories and local diner black coffee
[00:39.05] They laugh, act a fool, talk some trash, shoot the bull
[00:45.05] But they're as a sweet as a slice of chess pie
[00:48.34] With shrapnel still in their bodies
[00:51.59] I couldn't help but sit there and watch 'em go about
[00:57.74] That's when it hit me, they got it figured out
[01:03.49] All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
[01:09.33] Who are old enough to know better
[01:12.54] Now know better than back then
[01:15.89] They'd set their weapons on the ground and crack a couple cold beers
[01:22.16] Share polaroids of their grandkids
[01:25.23] Let the black powder smoke clear
[01:28.14] They'd play cards, and shake hands, make some new friends
[01:34.68] All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
[01:49.85] Yeah don't they usually send
[01:52.95] Some poor mothers 'son
[01:55.78] Youth is wasted on the young
[01:58.92] Recruit 'em right outta high school
[02:02.01] Hell, they won't know any better
[02:05.12] They'll fight, yeah they'll die
[02:07.74] And their hometowns 'will cry
[02:11.36] And all that's left is some emptiness and a shaky handwritten letter
[02:17.53] And it's been that way forever
[02:20.42] All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
[02:26.44] That are old enough to know better now
[02:29.71] Know better than back then
[02:32.97] They'd set their weapons on the ground and crack a couple cold beers
[02:38.82] Share polaroids of their grandkids
[02:41.94] Let the black powder smoke clear
[02:44.84] They'd play cards, and shake hands, make some new friends
[02:51.38] All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
[03:01.96] There'd be peace on Earth every day
[03:08.29] Hell, ain't they the ones who usually start them anyway?
[03:16.54] All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
[03:22.29] Who are old enough to know better now
[03:25.17] Know better than back then
[03:28.28] They'd set their weapons on the ground and crack a couple cold beers
[03:34.18] Share polaroids of their grandkids
[03:37.50] Let the black powder smoke clear
[03:40.13] They'd play cards, and shake hands, make some new friends
[03:48.78] All the wars from now on
[03:53.96] All the wars from now on
[04:02.27]
