Текст Cage The Elephant — The War Is Over

[Verse 1]
When I was a young man, I never needed anyone
Bruised and broken, shattered, always on the run
Safe behind a half-smile, laying in the shadows
I became a rich man, I held the world up with my hands
Inside 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?»

[Chorus]
You can build your walls, love will tear it down
You can hide your heart inside a man-made house
You can build your walls, build ’em to the sky
One day you will find love was on both sides
The war is over

[Verse 2]
I 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 shadows
Tell ’em that it’s all right, tell ’em ’cause you said so

[Chorus]
You can build your walls, love will tear it down
You can hide your heart inside a man-made house
You can build your walls, build ’em to the sky
One day you will find love was on both sides

[Post-Chorus]
The war is over, love’s already won
The war is over, the war is over
The war is over, love’s already won
The war is over, the war is over

[Bridge]
Time stands still so long
I feel so low
I know what follows, what follows

[Chorus]
You can build your walls, but love will tear it down
You can hide your heart inside a man-made house
You can build your walls, build ’em to the sky
One day you will find love was on both sides

[Post-Chorus]
The war is over, love’s already won
The war is over, the war is over
The war is over, love’s already won
The war is over, the war is over
