[00:-2.00] Meg & Dia - Fighting For Nothing
[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00]
[00:10.66] When I was younger,
[00:12.68] I wish that I would have known better
[00:15.54] Better love makes a fat romance,
[00:18.40] Lasts for more than a shoe shine
[00:19.78] I'm bolder, took all the words of my mother
[00:23.92] Saying it could be worse,
[00:25.98] Could be born with that disease
[00:28.00] Instead of catching it first
[00:29.68]
[00:30.70] So let's go back to the first time
[00:33.51] That I met you in your Chevy
[00:36.29] With your hands stretched and me crying, screaming "mercy, mercy"
[00:41.75] But I know that I was put here
[00:44.73] To fight vikings in the cold war,
[00:47.60] with my arms out in the front singing "tear me, tear me"
[00:52.20]
[00:52.98] But these things take time, love
[00:55.78] These things take backbone
[00:58.83] And they'll tell you what you want to hear
[01:01.50] Cause they say it gets better, better
[01:04.19] But you better know how to point out the liars
[01:10.17] You've got to win your wars, make sure
[01:12.60] You're not fighting for nothing, nothing
[01:15.46] Are you fighting for nothing, nothing
[01:18.81]
[01:20.95] It feels like this world has been growing slowly upside down,
[01:26.05] Maybe I should move to China, straighten this mess out
[01:30.65] Maybe I'll be a poet, watch all the sky for falling words
[01:34.50] Write about my grandma's curtains
[01:37.30] Or the lady who put the chinese buffet in her purse
[01:41.52] I've got my mouth, it's a weapon
[01:44.08] It's bombshell, it's a cannon
[01:46.89] I've got my words, I won't give them mercy, mercy
[01:51.55]
[01:52.40] But these things take time, love
[01:55.10] These things take backbone
[01:58.15] And they'll tell you what you want to hear
[02:00.72] They say it gets better, better
[02:03.50] But you better know how to point out the liars
[02:09.47] You've got to win your wars, make sure
[02:11.90] You're not fighting for nothing, nothing
[02:14.78] Are you fighting for nothing, nothing
[02:18.26]
[02:48.70] I've got my words,
[02:51.61] I hope they hurt you
[02:54.50] I hope they scar you
[02:57.22] I hope they heal you
[03:00.25] I hope they cut you open, make you seal the warn
[03:03.36] For all the wrong reasons, make you see
[03:05.49] that some things were worth bruising for
[03:07.53] Make you see that your name is your honor code
[03:10.27] Make you see that your hands you're accounted for
[03:13.19] They can choose where your sweat and you blood will go
[03:16.05] Make you see your life's not to be lived alone
[03:18.93] Run the strip through your hair
[03:20.37] You're worth nothing, nothing
[03:22.00]
[03:22.93] These things take time, love
[03:25.60] These things take backbone
[03:28.43] And they'll tell you what you want to hear
[03:31.19] Cuz they say it gets better, better
[03:33.77] But you better know how to point out the liars
[03:40.09] You've got to win your wars, make sure
[03:42.43] You're not fighting for nothing, nothing
[03:45.15] But these things take time, love
[03:48.25] These things take backbone
[03:51.07] And they'll tell you what you want to hear
[03:53.86] They say it gets better, better
[03:56.30] But you better know how to point out the liars
[04:02.62] You've got to win your wars, make sure
[04:05.00] You're not fighting for nothing, nothing
[04:07.63] Are you fighting for nothing, nothing
[04:11.84]
