The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964.

Old soldiers talk about the battles fought 
To build a better world for me and you. 
They sacrificed their lives to make a dream come true. 
Now they're forgotten men remembered by so few. 

But the war is over and the fighting ended many years ago. 
The war is over. The battle's won but what is there to show? 
Side by side they marched together fighting so their children 
Could be free, 

To build a better world, a new society 
All classes unified to live in harmony 
Now the war is over so let's forget and leave the past alone. 
The war is over, it's time for all the soldiers to go home. 

Rich men, poor men make history, 
Fighting for the land of hope and glory 
A nation's voice will sing as one, 
A battle cry until we've won 

The was is over and the patriotic comrades are no more. 
The war is over 
Now they're going home to live just like before. 
Arm in arm we sang our patriotic songs of love and sentiment. 

Tears of joy to hide the sorrow, 
New tomorrows till we meet again, 
With a new world to build we'll say auf weidersein. 
What did they do for us? 

What did it prove to us? 
As we stand beside the silent grave 
The unknown soldier can't be saved. 
The war is over 

The war is over, it's time for all the soldiers to go home. 
The war is over.
