MiscellaneousIs That What You Fought The War For? lyrics by Stiff Little Fingers
Yes, I know you did your bit back then
But what was it you won?
Take a good look around you now
Whose side were you on?
And I wonder if you understand at all
And I wonder if you ever ask yourself
When everyone has an equal chance
To live the life they buy
When free health care can save your life
But queue until you die
Then I wonder if you understand at all
And I wonder if you ever ask yourself
Is that what you fought the war for?
Is that why you fought the war?
Is that what you fought the war for?
Is that why you fought the war?
When still the muscles make the man
And men make women pay
When Britain's flag is a badge of hate
And just the fair can play
When still the homeless, jobless cry
When money shouts and lies
And buys off just enough to vote
Pass by the other side
Then I wonder if you understand at all
And I wonder, do you never ask yourself?
Is that what you fought the war for?
Is that why you fought the war?
Is that what you fought the war for?
Is that why you fought the war?
At the going down of the sun
And in the light of day
All you need remember is
We won't be taken like your generation again
Is that what you fought the war for?
Is that why you fought the war?
Is that what you fought the war for?
Is that why you fought the war?
