What Are We Fighting For Lyrics - Curt Smith

What are we fighting for 

What am I trying to restore by taking aim at you 

It's not that I need the best 

I want you to see I long to be successfully repressed 

I don't know why we fall 

What are we fighting for 

Why do I always ask for more than this day can provide 

When did I lose your trust 

Why do I choose to justify this dirty little war 

I don't know why we fall 

There was a time when I believed in providence 

Where is that confidence now 

I see the world sideways and I'm falling off again 

Into our rarely-go-round 

What am I waiting for 

Isn't this where we fade to black as you walk out the door 

If I'm so damn sure 

What are these tears I try to cheerfully ignore 

There was a time when I believed in providence 

Where is that confidence now 

I see the world sideways and I'm falling off again 

Into our rarely-go-round 

There was a time when I thought our salvation lied 

In the nights intimate heat 

My anger's contagious my wishes outrageous 

But dreams are my only relief 

I'm revolving, gravity keeps calling 

Falling, into our rarely-go-round 

Into our rarely-go-round 

Into our rarely-go-round 

(What are we fighting for) 

When all the anger's gone 

Who's lost and who has won 

And dare we ask ourselves 

Who are we fighting
