Battle flag in the bassinet Oil and blood on the
bayonet Crowded downtown hit the floor What are we fightin'
for?
What are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' for?
The
world got smaller but the bombs got bigger Holocaust on a hairpin
trigger Aint no game so forget the score What are we fightin'
for?
What are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' for? What are
we fightin' 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 nothing more godless
than a war So what are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin'
for? What are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' 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?
