What Are We Fighting For? Lyrics
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? (...)
Oil and blood on the bayonet
Crowded downtown, hit the floor
What are we fighting for?
Holocaust on a hairpin trigger
Ain't no game so forget the score
What are we fighting for?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow
The crucifix ain't no baseball bat
Tell me what kind of god is that?
Ain't nothin' more godless than war
What are we fighting for? (...)

This song has nothing in it but the truth. Awesome.
One of the finest songs I have ever heard. Deep and True
excelent song, deserves more fans
Beautiful
This song is beautiful its about the wars that we fight for an unnecesary cause (the crucifix aint no baseball bat) and how a god wouldnt want that
One of Live's best songs period. This song is so close to the truth in terms of how men have evolved warfare.
