Yes, I know you did your bit back then
But what was it you won?
Take a good look round you now
Whose side were you on?
And I wonder if you understand at all
And I wonder if you ever ask yourself

When everyone has an equal chance
to live the life they buy
When free health care can save your life.
But queue until you die
Then I wonder if you understand at all
And I wonder if you ever ask yourself

Is that what you fought the war for
Is that why you fought the war
Is that what you fought the war for
Is that why you fought the war

When still the muscles make the man
And men make women pay
When Britain's flag is a badge of hate
And just the fair can play
When still the homeless, jobless cry
When money shouts and lies
And buys off just enough to vote
Pass by the other side
Then I wonder if you understand at all
And I wonder if you never ask yourself

Is that what you fought the war for
Is that why you fought the war
Is that what you fought the war for
Is that why you fought the war

At the going down of the sun
And in the light of day
All you need remember is
We won't be taken like your generation again

Is that what you fought the war for
Is that why you fought the war
Is that what you fought the war for
Is that why you fought the war
