IS THAT WHAT YOU FOUGHT THE WAR FOR? 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
