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?
What are we fightin` for?
