all the wars from now on - stephen wilson jr. lyrics

[verse 1]
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 sweet as a slice of chess pit
with shrapnel still in their bodies

[pre*chorus]
i couldn’t help but sit there
and watch ’em go about
that’s when it hit me
they got it figured out

[chorus]
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 couplе cold beers
share polaroid’s of their grandkids
let thе 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
[verse 2]
yeah, don’t they usually send
some poor mother’s son?
youth is wasted on the young
recruit ’em right outta high school
h*ll, they won’t know any better
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

[chorus]
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 polaroid’s 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

[bridge]
there’d be peace on earth every day
h*ll, ain’t they the ones
who usually start them anyway?
[chorus]
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 polaroid’s 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

[outro]
h*llo, ben
it is monday
[?]
and the world is on fire
wake up, ben
wake up, wake up
