Songtekst

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, 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, when all 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 go crazy

Can't take it anymore, I've knocked on heaven¹s 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, when all 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

[Solo]

A young man, returns from war
Where he didn't know, what he was fighting for
The streets remained the same, but people'd changed
All the medals on his chest, they didn't mean a thing
A tear dropped from the corner of his eye
Did he come home

[Solo]

Now listen up
My grandpa died in Normandy, my brother is still in Vietnam, he ain't coming home
I know there's nothing good in war, I know, 'cause I've been there before, oh yes, I am

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
What are we fighting for, when all we need is peace
What are we fighting for, can't we learn from what we've done before
What are we fighting for, when no one ever wins

What are we fighting for, when the price we pay is endless war
What are we fighting for, 'cause all we need is peace
What are we fighting for, can't we learn from what we've done before
What are we fighting for, when no one ever wins, in war, in war, in war, in war
