If this is how we fight our war,

To cripple men in freedom's

name is utterly obscene

If men must die, we must ask why
Their murder is not a sin?
Though our cause is just
we've betrayed its trust

If this is what we're fight
ing for I don't want to win

G G 
 
no cause to believe in

There'll be one nation in the grave,

uniting those who've died
G G

Bm Bm 
 
Holy wars, settling scores
G G

Ancient debts to call in
C C 
 
G G 
 
We just loved to kill and
C C 
 
G G 
 
we always will
F F 
 
C C 
 
If hatred's all we're fighting
G G 
 
for then I don't want to win
G G 
 
I don't want to win
