lyrics

It's a tired old war
Been going on too long
And a lot of good people done wrong in vain

Grown so weary and desensitised
By dividing lines and the media lies
And commentaries that try to rationalise
How we're doing alright taking innocent lives

It's a tired old war
Been going on too long
And a lot of good people done wrong in vain

Conflict doesn't seek to understand
Still it comes disguised with a compassionate hand
Politicians add to the fatigue
Never knowing for sure what they're trying to achieve
Peaceful resolution holds no sway here anymore
Just a distant dream behind a double-locked door

It's a tired old war
Been going on too long
And a lot of good people done wrong in vain

How to carry on throughout the fight
All i know is it's wrong and I know that I'm right
Grown so weary and desensitised
Got a heavy heart and even heavier eyes

It's a tired old war
Been going on too long
And a lot of good people done wrong in vain
