Lyrics of I've Heard It All Before by John Cullum
Stand and show your colors
Let′s all go to war
The Lord will surely bless us
I've heard it all before
I′ve heard it all
A hundred times
I've heard it all before
They've always got a holy cause
To march you off to war
Tyranny or justice
Anarchy or law
We must defend our honor
I′ve heard it all before
I′ve heard it all
A hundred times
I've heard it all before
They′ve always got a holy cause
That's worth the dyin′ for
Someone writes a slogan
Raises up a flag
Someone finds an enemy to blame
The trumpet sounds the call to arms
To leave the cities and the farms
And always the ending is the same
The same
The same
The same
The dream has turned to ashes
The wheat has turned to straw
And someone asks the question
"What was the dyin' for?"
The livin′ can't remember
The dead no longer care
But next time it won't happen
Upon my soul, I swear
I′ve heard it all
A hundred times
I′ve heard it all before
Don't tell me it′s different now
I've heard it all
I′ve heard it all
I've heard it all before
Writer(s): Peter Udell, Gary Geld
