Mangan, Dan - Post-War Blues Lyrics
Let's start a war for the kids
A purpose for which to unite
Make them some words they can mince
What they don't know
They won't mind
And stories to tell as they age
Then maybe time will decide
Which ones keep and which ones fade
There's the deepest sleep in my blood
From which I am slowly coming to
And every morning I wait for the news
Oh, this is
This is post war blues
Make me an ending in sight
Make me insightful again
What I can't see
I can't fight
Make me a fire to burn
Burn all the letter I wrote
Write me a list of concerns
If we are at peace
If we are at peace
I wanna know
There's the deepest sleep in my blood
From which I am slowly coming to
And every morning I wait for the news
Oh, this is
This is post war blues
Oh, this is
This is post war blues

Mangan, Dan Post-War Blues Comments

Great song
I like how it's the "canadian" charter of rights and freedoms, and all the uniforms and weapons are america.
Love that riff. So unexpected.
"The Call" I don't believe in any Russians and There AINT NO YANKS!!! just corporate criminals with PLANES AND TANKS.....And they blew there horns and the >WALLS CAME DOWN<
.amen brother.......
This had Dr. Strange Love written all over it :D
Why did Canada have to start it.... We're peaceful
Lane's World start what? We didn't start anything.
Well actually Dan Mangan is from Canada, and I'd have to guess that's literally the only reason it even mentioned Canada.
Great video!
Because all you need to do to send off a nuclear missile that will potentially murder millions of people is press a tiny red button sitting in the conference room. :3
Stupid Harper.
Anyone else catch Doctor Strangelove? :D
@sardonic12 Well not quite like the 70s because the kids then didn't really stand up against any kinda war.
oh hey handsworth secondary!
fucking love the guitar riff after he says "post-war blues", didn't expect it
2:51 What a cool dude, pullin' up the hood.
It is my hope that this generation will stand and be strong!! Loved the video!
Great vid!
anybody else think from like 3.18 till the end is the best part?
Sorry, thought the video was pretty 1970's. Nothing new here.

Oh man, Dr Strangelove reference is awesome :D
That's me!
Was Don McKellar playing the Peter Sellers spin off character? Great video. Little knod to Harper...?
I spy with my little eye Arts Umbrella theatre students...
I worked on the video. The war room was shot in Simon Fraser University's downtown campus.
I bet you that Dan wrote this song because of Harper's ridiculous spendings on war aircrafts, and the infamous helicopter fishing trips.
Stephen Evelyn Harper, you are the douchiest of douches
Holy shit Dan Mangan is so amazing! This video is pretty rad too!
Marry me?
This is truly good music and the video shows his passion well. Great work guys!
