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? |
