Lyrics:
Hey Bill, Hey Don, Hey Roger, Hey Ron
Four Purple Hearts full of war stories and local diner black coffee
They laugh, act a fool, talk some trash, shoot the bull
But they’re as a sweet as a slice of chess pie with shrapnel still in their bodies
I couldn’t help but sit there and watch ‘em go about
That’s when it hit me, they got it figured out
All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
Who are old enough to know better
Now know better than back then
They’d set their weapons on the ground and crack a couple cold beers
Share polaroids of their grandkids
Let the black powder smoke clear
They’d play cards, and shake hands, make some new friends
All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
Yeah don’t they usually send…
Some poor mothers ’son
Youth is wasted on the young
Recruit ‘em right outta high school
Hell, they won’t know any better
They’ll fight, yeah they’ll die
And their hometowns ’will cry
And all that’s left is some emptiness and a shaky handwritten letter
And it’s been that way forever….
All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
That are old enough to know better now
Know better than back then
They’d set their weapons on the ground and crack a couple cold beers
Share polaroids of their grandkids
Let the black powder smoke clear
They’d play cards, and shake hands, make some new friends
All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
There’d be peace on Earth every day
Hell, ain’t they the ones who usually start them anyway?
All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
Who are old enough to know better now
Know better than back then
They’d set their weapons on the ground and crack a couple cold beers
Share polaroids of their grandkids
Let the black powder smoke clear
They’d play cards, and shake hands, make some new friends
All the wars from now on…
All the wars from now on…
