What Are You Fighting For?

Phil Ochs / Shawn Stern

You say you fight for freedom
You say you fight for peace
The Army is there when we need them, for our security
I say you fight to kill
I say you fight from hate
You fight because you're stupid
Seek glory in this state

Know your enemy ! [repeat]

Theres a skinhead, theres a punk
Theres an Oi! boy, theres a jerk
Try to be different yet you end up the same
Keep on fighting things will never change
Is that the way, because it had to be, had to be ?
Or is it just your fuckin' mentality !

Know your enemy ! [repeat]

Do you hate them for the color of their skin
Or perhaps the country that they were born in
Discriminate, annihilate
Is this the virtue of a rational man?

Is that the way, because it had to be, had to be ?
Or is it just your fuckin' mentality
Know your enemy !

What are you fighting for ? [repeat]

Fight for life
Fight for your rights
Be an individual never lose sight
Knowledge is the way to see
Ignorance is your enemy

Is that the way, because it had to be, had to be ?
Or is it just your fuckin' mentality
Know your enemy !

You say you fight for freedom
You say you fight for peace
The Army is there when we need them, for our security
I say you fight to kill
I say you fight from hate
You fight because you're stupid, seek glory in this state

Know your enemy ! [repeat]
