Is That What You Fought The War For? Lyrics - Now Then - Stiff Little Fingers

Yes, I know you did your bit back then. But what was it you won? 

Take a good look round you now. Whose side were you on? 

And I wonder if you understand at all. And I wonder if you ever ask yourself 

When everyone has an equal chance to live the life they buy 

When free health care can save your life. But queue until you die 

Then I wonder if you understand at all. And I wonder if you ever ask yourself 

Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for 

Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for 

When still the muscles make the man. And men make women pay 

When Britain's flag is a badge of hate. And just the fair can play 

When still the homeless, jobless cry. When money shouts and lies 

And buys off just enough to vote. Pass by the other side 

Then I wonder if you understand at all. And I wonder if you never ask yourself 

Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for 

Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for 

At the going down of the sun 

And in the light of day 

All you need remember is 

We won't be taken like your generation again 

Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for 

Is that what you fought the war for. Is that what you fought the war for
