When This War Is Over Lyrics - Singles - J.j. Cale & Eric Clapton

When this war is over 

It will be a better day 

When this war is over 

It will be a better day 

But it won't bring back 

Those poor boys in their graves 

Ain't no sense in no action 

Killin' people all the time 

Ain't no sense in no action 

Killin' people all the time 

When it happens on the street 

We call that a crime 

Man, he can get along 

He just won't agree 

Who's right and who's wrong 

The matter you see 

All of those killings 

That ain't the way to go 

Gotta get a plan 

And change our ways you know 

When this war is over 

It will be a better day 

When this war is over 

It will be a better day 

But it won't bring back 

Those poor boys in their graves 

When this war is over 

It will be a better day 

When this war is over 

It will be a better day 

But it won't bring back 

Those poor boys in their graves
