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 wnat you 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 loose 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 blackas 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 night's 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 has won  and dare we ask ourselves  who are we fighting
