Cage The Elephant - The War Is Over Lyrics
When I was a young man, I never needed anyone
Bruised and broken, shattered, always on the run
Sleepin' on a half-smile, layin' 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"
"What's the point in living when living feels like dying?"
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
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"
Tell 'em that it's all right, tell 'em 'cause you said so
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, 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
Time stands still so long
I feel so low
I know what follows, what follows
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
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

Cage The Elephant The War Is Over Comments
Idk i might be the only one with this feeling but i felt depress after a family member pass. I was sad and was thinking suicide but a friends brother called talk to me. I listen to this song and thought back when i was little. Always happy but bullied, death and beaten was going on. Then as i got older bad things keep happening like the one that just pass but again then a friend's brother help me. With the right love any war would be over💛
Que buenas melodias que tiene este album , hacia rato que no le prestaba atencion a una banda joven y estos muchachos aunque ya los tenia de nombre , nunca les habia dado mucha bolilla y son buenos .
Does this sound like Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2? On the album "War". Coincidence?
I can’t wait for them to win there 2nd grammy

FUCKING MASTERPIECE OF AN ALBUM!! MY FAVORITE SONG CHANGES EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS ALBUM DEPENDING ON THE SONG!
Ive gone from Social Cues to Night Running to What I’m becoming to this one. The album is jaw dropping amazing!
@Carlos I know man, I love it so much, one of my favorite albums ever. I can't lock in on a favorite at all. I think it is a tie between, "Social Cues," "Skin and Bones," and "The War is Over." I do love the energy of "Night Running especially Matt Schultz coming in on the second verse.
Melhor música 🎶 😻

"You can build your walls, love will tear them down"
I feel as it there is a lot of people that need to hear that
I think this is my favorite song from the album, but I like all of them. <3
This should be in the end of peaky blinders
SPOILER???
Am I wrong to assume this is a political song? It’s damn good
my mind shifts to lgbt because of love always prevailing idk
This is the song that consolidates this album as a rock masterpiece.
any body else getting demon dayz vibes from this song
One of the best songs on the album
and people say there's no good music anymore??
Arctic Elephants?
Arctic cages
Monkey Elephants from the Arctic
Both are my faves
Red Hot Elephants? Blink 18Monkeys?
Cage the Gorillaz
Gorilla the Elephantz
This entire album is unbelievable
This is probably my new favorite song from Cage The Elephant
THE WAR IS OVER
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?"
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
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
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, 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
Time stands still so long
I feel so low
I know what follows, what follows
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
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.

definitivemet ma nouvelle chanson preferer apres ready to let go
anyone else get ready to let go vibes listening? or just me
Matt Shultz is currently separated and undergoing divorce with his wife, probably where a lot of the inspiration for this album is being drawn from.
I love how every single song of this album has an extra 7 seconds at the end, so that I can stop it and replay it! They thought economically while releasing each song. Lol
Cool you noticed that👍 I didnt lol😂
This Is amazing, I don't know how I can love so munch one song and one band ❤❤ Cage The Elephant the best band ❤❤🌹 I love you guys ❤🌹❤

"What's the point of livin',

He sang when livin' feels like dyin'. So you were close I guess. I think you missed the message of the song though.

Come to México 🇲🇽
[Verse 1]
When I was a young man, I never needed anyone
Bruised and broken, shattered, always on the run
Sleepin' on a half-smile, layin' 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"
Stayed 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]
I don't understand, just feels so wrong
I feel so wrong
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
Armando Nunez , you should make a separate video with the lyrics
Such a variety in one album. Man! They know how to do it!
It's an honor to be listening to this new album with everyone who is here this early 🙂
