What Are We Fighting For
This isn't a game, yeah
When mothers are crying
Watching their children die in vain
I'm praying for peace now
I saw all the conflict
Somehow there's got to be a change
No one wins when people die
Doesn't matter which side
Love will never make it out alive
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
Money, religion, or power all the time
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no (no, no-)
The price of our freedom
Is blood in the water
We're looking for hope, what will it take?
We keep on repeating
The fate of our fathers
Somehow, there's got to be a change
No one wins when people die
Doesn't matter which side
Love will never make it out alive
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
Money, religion, or power all the time
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no
Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory
It can no longer serve to settle dispute
Can no longer concern the great powers alone
Let us call a truth to terror
Let us evoke the blessings of peace
Mankind must put an end to war
Or war will put an end to mankind
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
Money, religion, or power all the time
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no
When mothers are crying
Watching their children die in vain
I'm praying for peace now
I saw all the conflict
Somehow there's got to be a change
No one wins when people die
Doesn't matter which side
Love will never make it out alive
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
Money, religion, or power all the time
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no (no, no-)
The price of our freedom
Is blood in the water
We're looking for hope, what will it take?
We keep on repeating
The fate of our fathers
Somehow, there's got to be a change
No one wins when people die
Doesn't matter which side
Love will never make it out alive
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
Money, religion, or power all the time
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no
Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory
It can no longer serve to settle dispute
Can no longer concern the great powers alone
Let us call a truth to terror
Let us evoke the blessings of peace
Mankind must put an end to war
Or war will put an end to mankind
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no
What are we fighting for? I don't know why
Money, religion, or power all the time
What are we fighting for? I don't know why, no
