Battle flag in the bassinette
Oli in Blood on the bayonet
Croweded 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
So what are we fighting for?
what are we fighting for?

(CHORUS)
What are we fighting for? (what are we fighting for?)
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 void of love......

The crucifix ain't no baseball bat
Tell me what kind of God is that
Ain't nothig more Godless than a war
So what are we fighting for??
What are we fighting for?

(Chorus)

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 FIGHTING FOR???
what are we fighting for??

(CHORUS)
