You know I’e heard it
Said there’ beauty in distortion
By some people who’e withdrawn
To find their heads
Now they say that there
Is humor in misfortune
You know I wonder if
They’l laugh when I am dead
Why am I fighting to live
If I’ just living to fight
Why am I trying to see
When there ain’ nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live if
I'm just living to die
You know some people say
That values are subjective
But they're just speaking words
That someone else has said
And so they live and fight
And kill with no objective
Sometimes it's hard to tell
The living from the dead
Why am I fighting to live
If I'm just living to fight
Why am I trying to see
When there ain't nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live
If I'm just living to die
You know I used to weave
My words into confusion
And so I hope you'll understand me
When I'm through
You know I used to live my life
As an illusion
But reality will make my dream come true
So I'll keep fighting to live
Till there's no reason to fight
And I'll keep trying to see
Until the end is in sight
You know I'm trying
To give so c'mon give me a try
You know I'm dying to live
Until I'm ready to die
