lyrics

My poor mother, ain't no one above her
So why, tell me why, do we fight all the time?
Her only wish is that I do my dishes
So why, tell me why, do we fight?

Her hand on her forehead
When I come home with my eyes red
So why, tell me why, do we fight all the time?
And when I am profane, she says it conjures pain
So why, tell me why, do we fight?

Cuz the men in the Commons, they keep getting taller
Despite the battles we wage, they keep getting stronger
So we fight the one we love, yeah it's all for nothing
But the release of something that we cannot contain

My tired lover rolls under the covers
Asks me why, tell me why, do we fight all the time?
I look at him plainly and I answer sanely
"We fight, because they fight all the time."

And I am not well, the world is not right
I am not well cuz they are not well, is that alright?
I am not well, they are not right
I am not well, they are not right
Paris is burning and we should burn too
Fight them as hard as your disbelief
I am not well, cuz they are not well
Is that alright?
