Broken English Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Could have come through anytime
Cold, lonely puritan
What are you fighting for?
It's not my security
[Chorus]
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
[Verse 2]
Lose your father, your husband
Your mother, your children
What are you dying for?
It's not my reality
[Chorus]
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
[Bridge]
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
[Verse 1]
Could have come through anytime
Cold, lonely puritan
What are you fighting for?
It's not my security
[Chorus]
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
[Outro]
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
