Lyrics Tears For Fears – What Are We Fighting For

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 need 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?
What are we fighting for?
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?

When all the anger’s gone
Who’s lost and who has won?
And dare we ask ourselves
What are we fighting for?
What are we fighting for?
