You know, I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion   By some people who've withdrawn to find their head   And they say that there is humor in misfortune   You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead      Why am I fighting to live   If I'm just living to fight?   Why am I trying to see   When there ain't nothing in sight?   Why am I trying to give   When no one gives me a try?   Why am I dying to live   If I'm just living to die?         You know some people say that values are subjective   But they're just speaking words that someone else has said   And so they live and fight and kill with no objective   Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead      Why am I fighting to live   If I'm just living to fight?   Why am I trying to see   When there ain't nothing in sight?   Why am I trying to give   When no one gives me a try?   Why am I dying to live   If I'm just living to die?      Now I used to weave my words in deep confusion   So I hope you'll understand me when I'm blue   Now I used to live my life as an illusion   But reality will make my dream come true      So I'll keep fighting to live   If there's no reason to fight   And I'll keep trying to see   Until the end is in sight   You know I'm trying to give   So come on...give me a try   You know I'm dying to live   Until I'm ready to die
