Who We Fight For

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mama left the porch light on For the ones who came back wrong Old hymns in a dry front yard New scars where the talking starts You hand me a flag I hand you a grudge We call it conviction But it tastes like mud Same dust on our boots Same rain on the tin While a real storm circles And we keep lookin’ in [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what it costs When the brothers get split For a little pride and a little bit [Chorus] Who we fight for Who we fight for We know how to wound our own Who we fight for Who we fight for While the real threat grows at home [Verse 2] You got my cousin on a chain Of a story that ain’t true Got my neighbor in the crossfire Of a cause that won’t come through One hand on the Bible One hand on a lie We keep feeding the furnace Till the good ones dry Out past the fence line Something mean gets bold But we’re busy making enemies Out of every soul we know [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what it costs When the brothers get split For a little pride and a little bit [Chorus] Who we fight for Who we fight for We know how to wound our own Who we fight for Who we fight for While the real threat grows at home [Bridge] If we ever turned that fire Toward the thing that comes to take What’s left of the table What’s left of the name [Break] [whispered sample chop] One love, one line, one life [Final Chorus] Who we fight for Who we fight for We know how to wound our own Who we fight for Who we fight for Stand up when the real one shows Who we fight for Who we fight for May we finally learn this road
