The War Is Over – Cage The Elephant – letras

When I was a young man, I never needed anyoneBruised and broken, shattered, always on the runSafe behind a half-smile, laying in the shadowsI became a rich man, I held the world up with my handsInside I was a poor man, still screaming, « I don’t understand » »Why am I always running?  » « Why am I always hiding? «  »What’s the point in living when living feels like dying? « You can build your walls, love will tear it downYou can hide your heart inside a man-made houseYou can build your walls, build ’em to the skyOne day you will find love was on both sidesThe war is overI came upon a wise man, he said, « Sit beside me son » »When I was a young man, I was like you, the Prodigal Son »Safe behind a half-smile, hidin’ in the shadowsTell ’em that it’s all right, tell ’em ’cause you said soYou can build your walls, love will tear it downYou can hide your heart inside a man-made houseYou can build your walls, build ’em to the skyOne day you will find love was on both sidesThe war is over, love’s already wonThe war is over, the war is overThe war is over, love’s already wonThe war is over, the war is overTime stands still so longI feel so lowI know what follows, what followsYou can build your walls, but love will tear it downYou can hide your heart inside a man-made houseYou can build your walls, build ’em to the skyOne day you will find love was on both sidesThe war is over, love’s already wonThe war is over, the war is overThe war is over, love’s already wonThe war is over, the war is over
