Nobody wants to hear a song about the dead But it's been running through my head I gotta' get myself some sleep Nobody wants to hear a story of lost love But I've got a war like a dove It's been flying away from me (prechorus #1:) Something's got to last forever or Who's gonna' watch us as we're fading away? There's are the names I could never remember, the Most important things I never heard them say Who wants to tell a child that heaven's just a lie, There's no reason we die, But we all do? Who wants to go shoot the enemy down? Won't you take a look around, See the enemy in you? Somebody's got to raise a voice screaming "We don't know the things we say are true" Somebody's got to dance in the moonlight gleaming Oh the things I wouldn't do for you (chorus:) But you gotta' go off to war again Fighting for the biggest lie my friend You know damn well it isn't us or them What are you fighting for? What are you fighting for? What are you fighting for? A dead man has no liberty Everyone wants to hear a patriotic tune But I gotta' look up to the moon It's been looking down on me All I can see are reflections of the sun Still be here when we're done Killing all that we've made free (prechorus #1) (chorus)
