Dan mangan + blacksmith - Post-war blues lyrics

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 There's the deepest sleep in my blood From which I am slowly coming to And every morning i wait for the news Oh, this is This is post war blues Make me a means to an end 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 peace I wanna know There's the deepest sleep in my blood 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
