When the War is Over Lyrics

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away,
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

When the war is over, Got to get away
Pack my bags to no place, in no time, no day
You and I we used each other's shoulder
Still so young but somehow so much older
How can I go home and not get blown away?

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away,
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

When the war is over got to start again
Try to hold a trace of what it was back then
All around this chaos and madness
Can't help feeling nothing more than sadness
Only choice to face it the best I can

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away,
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

You and I we sent each other stories
Just a page I'm lost in all its glories
How can I go home and not get blown away

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I didn't think covers could get any worse than Avril Lavigne's version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door. This song has proved me wrong. Like all manufactured pop stars, this bitch is incapable of writing her own songs, so she 'sings' (tunelessly screeches) someone else's. Cold Chisel must have played this classic ballad 500+ times, and they have never come close to making it sound this bad. John Farnham's cover is nothing compared to Chisel, but even it is infinitely better than this version.
