Tears for Fears What Are We Fighting for song 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
