  • Battleflag in the bassinet
    Oil and blood on the bayonet
    Crowded downtown, hit the floor

    What are we fighting for?
    What are we fighting for?

    The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger
    Holocaust on a hairpin trigger
    Ain't no game so forget the score

    What are we fighting for?
    What are we fighting 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 nothin' more godless than war

    So what are we fighting for?
    What are we fighting for? (...) Writer/s: CHAD ALAN GRACEY, CHAD DAVID TAYLOR, EDWARD JOEL KOWALCZYK, PATRICK DAHLHEIMER
