Post-War Blues

[D]Let's start a war for the kids
[A]A purpose for which to unite
[D]Make them some words they can mince
[G]What they don't k[D]now, They won't m[A]ind

[D]Find them a foe for the fight
[A]And stories to tell as they age
[D]Then maybe time will decide
[G]Which ones keep[D] and which ones f[A]ade

[Bm]There's the deepest sleep in my l[D]ife,
[Bm]from which I am slowly coming t[D]o
[A]And every morning I [Bm]wait for the news
[A]oh this is, this is post war blues

Make me a means to an end
Oh 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 ease
I want to know

There's the deepest sleep in my life
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
