Fightin' , what you fightin' for, lyin' !
Tryin', you know what's the score,
dyin' !

Somebody makes a decision from the top, then ya fightin'
You know really know what your trainin's really for, no need denyin'

Though you blind your eyes with a veiled disguise, I know what you feel, you can never run away, not today; I can hear what you say, and I only can pray that we please stop this silly fightin'

(Chorus)
Down the years with my laughter from the tears it makes me wonder
Is Life this tough' cause our love's just not enough to make us wiser

So we go to war and you know what for
Someone pulled the strings and we keep on playing the game someone made;
With our lives we will pay, and I only can pray that we please stop this silly fightin'
