Wait until the war is over
And we're both a little older
The unknown soldier
Practice where the news is read
Television children had
Unborn, living, dead,
Bullet strikes the helmet's head

And it's all over for the unknown soldier,
It's all over for the unknown soldier

"Company halt! Presents arms!"

Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder
The unknown soldier
Practise where the news is read
Television children had
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
It's all over, the war is over...
