Lyrics
Wait until the war is over
Waiting until the end of the war
And we're both a little older
Anticipating a time when both individuals are older
The unknown soldier
Reference to the unidentified soldier
Breakfast where the news is read
Having breakfast while hearing the news
Television children fed
Children raised by television
Unborn living, living, dead
Commenting on the state of those not yet born, the living, and the dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
Describing the impact of a bullet on a helmet
And it's all over
Expressing a sense of conclusion
For the unknown soldier
Referring to the end for the unidentified soldier
It's all over
Reiterating the finality for the unidentified soldier
For the unknown soldier, hut
Adding emphasis with "hut"
Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Creating a symbolic resting place for the unidentified soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder
Describing a location for the grave
The unknown soldier
Reiteration of the unidentified soldier
Breakfast where the news is read
Repeating the scene of having breakfast and receiving news
Television children fed
Reiterating the influence of television on children
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
Recalling the impact of a bullet on a helmet
And, it's all over
Declaring the end of the war
The war is over
Confirming the war's conclusion
It's all over
Reiterating the end of the war
The war is over
Confirming the conclusion of the war
Well, all over, baby
Expressing finality or closure
All over, baby
Repeating the idea of conclusion
Oh, over, yeah
Emphasizing the sense of closure
All over, baby
Repeating the notion of finality
Wooooo, hah-hah
Adding an emotional exclamation
All over
Repeating the idea of conclusion
All over, baby
Reiterating the sense of closure
Oh, woa-yeah
Expressing finality and emotion
All over
Repeating the idea of conclusion
All over
Reiterating the sense of closure
Hey!
Ending with an emphatic "Hey!"
