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
