Bute Sound - Now That The War is Over - (Live Original Acoustic Song)

A Song, a little bit about War.
( or it's unfortunate necessity )
In a 60s/70s folk protest-song style..
Originally written - Ben Kolb 2015
had no choice but to use this particular take because i happened to hit STOP on the recording at 11:11 pm.
so took that as a sign. ; )
---
Features fair-use videos of war film clips - then fx'd - to make it a video.
lets all thank those creators and hope they leave us alone.

Now that the war is over,
I lay down my gun.
Now that the war is over,
I lay down my gun..
My gun, it may be old & cold
But it has a Tale that must be told..
Listen well my boy,
It Looks like your up next..
Respect thy enemy
Only when he's dead,
You must respect your enemy
Only when she's dead.
Now that the war is over,
I lay down my gun..
What I cannot lay to rest
Is the memories of those I left behind,
My brother, the lovers,
And the mothers.
Standing at the gates of our civilization,
Standing at the gates,
Is a guard, with a gun.
Now that the war is over
I lay down my gun,
What I cannot lay to rest
Is the memories of those Ive left behind,
My brothers, the lovers and the mothers.
And as you pick up your gun my boy,
Allow me a tear..
Fight for what you may ask
Just do as your goddam told..
Cos I want you to grow old.
