Lyrics
SOMETHING SEEMS DIFFERENT, SOMETHING'S CHANGED AND I DON'T KNOW
WHY EVERYBODY'S GOT ADVICE THAT NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO HEAR
SWEET LITTLE WARRIORS WITH RIGHTEOUS, BOLD ATTACKS AND YELLOW STRIPES UPON THEIR BACKS,
TOO AFRAID TO SMELL THE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS
A NO MANS LAND WHERE SO FEW PEOPLE WANNA DWELL
WHERE RIGHT AND LEFT WANT YOU DISPOSED BECAUSE YOU WON'T PLAY THEIR GAME
ALL OF A SUDDEN, I'M A DEVIL JUST BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO THINK FOR MY SELF
SO WHEN DID FREEDOM BECOME SOMETHING DESPISED?
GIVE ME A REASON TO LIVE, GIVE ME A REASON TO FIGHT
GIVE ME A MOUNTAIN TO STAND ON
TO TELL THE WORLD ITS OK, NO BLACK AND WHITE IT'S ALL GREY
STAND IN THE MIDDLE AND BE COUNTED
WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR
IT SEEMS WE'VE LOST OUR HOPE FOR TOMORROW
TO CHASE A LIFE THAT NOW SEEMS LIKE A DREAM
I'M TIRED OF DRWONING IN DARKNESS AND SORROW
THE ONLY THING THAT'S LEFT TO DO IS SCREAMMMM
THE TALKING HEADS THEY LIKE TO PLAY US LIKE A FIDDLE
TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANNA HEAR SO THEY CAN STAY ON THE AIR
GIVE YOU THEIR VERISON OF THE TRUTH BUT DEEP INSIDE THEY KNOW THEY'RE LYING
SO THEY CAN KEEP ON MAKING MONEY IN THE DIVIDE
GIVE ME A REASON TO LIVE, GIVE ME A REASON TO FIGHT
GIVE ME A MOUNTAIN TO STAND ON
TO TELL THE WORLD ITS OK, NO BLACK AND WHITE IT'S ALL GREY
STAND IN THE MIDDLE AND BE COUNTED
WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR
TELL ME, WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR
STAND NOW, WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR
