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 are we fighting for? What are we fighting for? What will I tell my daughter? What will you tell your son? Where were all 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 a war So 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 doves? That we were nothing but a shadow A faceless generation… What are we fighting for? What are we fighting for? (continuous repeat)
