I got the call one summer night
He said you're on tomorrow's flight
My mother cried, my sister too
My father said I'm proud of you, yes I am son.
I can't believe it's true, we're going after who
And still I wish that I just knew.
What are we fighting for?
When the price we pay is endless war
What are we fighting for?
All we know we need is peace.
Though I'm blind to what I see
They tell me there's an enemy
I know I gotta get outta here
Insanity is drawing near, I'm going crazy.
Can't take it anymore, I've knocked on heaven's door
No I'm not dying for this war.
What are we fighting for?
When the price we pay is endless war
What are we fighting for?
All we know we need is peace.
What are we fighting for?
Can't we learn from what we've done before
What are we fighting for?
Yeah, when no one ever wins, in war.
A young man returns from war
Where he didn't know, what he was fighting for
The streets remained the same but people changed
The medals on his chest, didn't mean a thing
A tear dropped from the corner of his eye, did he come home?
Now, listen up, my grandpa died on Normandy
My brother is still in Vietnam, he ain't comin' home
I know there's nothing good in war
I know 'cause I've been there before, oh yes, I have.
So what am I gonna do, I know this war ain't through
And still I wish that I just knew.
What are we fighting for?
When the price we pay is endless war

All we know we need is peace.
What are we fighting for?
Can't we learn form what we've done before
What are we fighting for?
When no one ever wins.
What are we fighting for?

What are we fighting for?
Can't we learn form what we've done before
What are we fighting for?
When no one ever wins, in war, in war, in war, in war.
