White Lion - War Song Lyrics
I got the call one summer nightHe said you're on tomorrow's flightMy mother cried my sister tooMy father said I'm proud of youI can't believe it's trueWe're going after 'who'And still I wish that I just knewWhat are we fighting forWhen the price we pay is endless warWhat are we fighting forWhen all we need is peaceThough I'm blind to what I seeThey tell me there's an enemyI know I gotta get outta hereInsanity is drawing nearCan't take it anymoreI've knocked on heaven's doorNo I'm not dying for this warWhat are we fighting forWhen the price we pay is endless warWhat are we fighting forWhen all we need is peaceWhat are we fighting forCan't we learn from what we've done beforeWhat are we fighting forWhen no one ever wins, in warA young man returns from warWhere he didn't knowWhat he was fighting forThe streets remained the sameBut people'd changedThe medals on his chestDidn't mean a thingA tear dropped from the corner of his eyeDid he come comeMy grandpa died in NormandyMy brother is still in VietnamI know there's nothing good in warI know 'cause I've been there beforeSo what am I gonna doI know this war ain't throughAnd still I wish that I just knewWhat are we fighting forWhen the price we pay is endless warWhat are we fighting forWhen all we need is peaceWhat are we fighting forCan't we learn form what we've done beforeWhat are we fighting forWhen no one ever wins, in war
