Why We Fight

Although I couldn’t afford it
I bought a beat up guitar
I worked 'til four in the mornin'
In a broken down bar
This is why we fight
This is why we fight
I know we’re all out of money
Don’t let the billionaires win
We ain’t got much, but we’re hungry
It’s burning under our skin
This is why we fight
This is why we fight
Oh, come on darlin'
There’s a war on our TV
But it’s all right
In our bedrooms we are free
Deep in the guts of me
I love you violently
Until the dawn’s early light
This is why we fight
This is why we fight
Come put your hand on my heartbeat
There is a marching band in me
It sings a national anthem
For an island in the sea
Where everybody’s somebody
Where everybody’s gone free
This is why we fight
Now every morning when I wake up
I put another bullet in my coffee cup
Oh, come on darlin'
There’s a war on our TV
But it’s all right
In our bedrooms we are free
Deep in the guts of me
I love you violently
Until the dawn’s early light
This is why we fight
This is why we fight
This is why we fight
This is why we fight
