Curt Smith - What Are We Fighting For lyrics

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
