If you sang the song the way it was written

And you march along to the beat of the drum

Remember when you jumped To the eight o'clock whistle

The battle is over, but the war goes on

You close your eyes when you hear the thunder
And laugh in the rain and you cry in the sun
But who do you fool, but me and you, brother?
Yeah, the battle is over, but the war goes on

Instrumental Verse

Everybody plays follow the leader
But what if the leader wants to pick up a gun?
But who do you fool, but me and you, brother?
The battle is over, but the war goes on

Instrumental Verse

If you march right along way it was written
If you sang the song the along to the beat of the drum
Remember when you jumped To the eight o'clock whistle
The battle is over, but the war goes on

Instrumental Verse x2

If talk was money, you'd be a millionaire, mm
Yeah, and if thoughts could kill, there'd be nobody here
Yeah, so many thinkin' evil and talkin' lies
When it's only true love keeps this world live
