Listen children to a story
that will purge your hearts with fear
bout a man who froze a nation
just because a man lived there
sent an army to go and find him
to impose terror, show him fear
blew up his buildings and hurt his people
just because he could, so there

Go ahead and fight your battles
go ahead and win your wars
this started as a two man combat
so what the hell ya fighting for?
you tell your kids you're fighting terror
but you're causing more and more each day
at the end of the night remember
people die this way

now a nation stands divided
half supporters of the war
the rest look at it a different angle
what the hell are we fighting for?
why are our people still out there dying?
why can't they come home? we have no war
why can't we all just stand united?
what the hell are we fighting for?

Go ahead and fight your battles
go ahead and win your wars
this started as a two man combat
so what the hell ya fighting for?
you tell your kids you're fighting terror
but you're causing more and more each day
at the end of the night remember
people die this way

he promised freedom to his people
but gave them anger, death and pain
now it looks like five years later
still the promise has remained
so we ask him, for his people
to go back now to what he said
give the people back their freedom
and just go home. your man is dead

Go ahead and fight your battles
go ahead and win your wars
this started as a two man combat
so what the hell ya fighting for?
you tell your kids you're fighting terror
but you're causing more and more each day
at the end of the night remember
people die this way
