- The Unknown Soldier LyricsWait until the war is over
And we're both a little older
The unknown soldier
Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Unborn living, 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
Hut

Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder
The unknown soldier
Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
And, it's all over
The war is over
It's all over
The war is over
Well, all over, baby
All over, baby
Oh, over, yeah

Unborn living, 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

This song was specifically written for all combat veterans who return home with PTSD and realize the heroes that died in combat are the ones who are truly alive. We are just the walking dead.

I remember this song as a teenager,it was banned from the radio,Probably due to the viet nam war. I still have the original 45.Soldiers are still not being treated fair,after all these decades.
