Live - What Are We Fighting For? lyrics

Battle flag in the bassinet

Oil and blood on the bayonet

Crowded downtown hit the floor

What are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?

The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger

Holocaust on a hairpin trigger

Aint no game so forget the score

What are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?

What will I tell my daughter?

What will you tell your son?

Where were all the doves?

That we were nothing but a shadow,

a faceless generation devoid of love?

The crucifix ain't no baseball bat

Tell me what kind of God is that?

Ain't nothing more godless than a war

So what are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?

What will I tell my daughter?

What will you tell your son?

Where were all the doves?

That we were nothing but a shadow,

A faceless generation?

What are we fightin' for?
