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 its alright! 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 its alright! 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
