[Verse 1]
Could have come through anytime
Cold lonely, puritan
What are you fighting for?
It's not my security

[Chorus]
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English

[Verse 2]
Lose your father, your husband
Your mother, your children
What are you dying for?
It's not my reality

[Chorus]
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English
[Bridge]
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
