Lyrics If This Is What We're Fighting For - From "The Beautiful Game" - Andrew Lloyd Webber feat. Josie Walker

If this is what we are fighting for, if this is the way we begin
With the innocent dying, a whole nation crying
If this is how we fight our war, I don't want to win

We say that justice is our aim, but what does that justice mean?
Condemned without trial, no chance of denial
To cripple men in freedom's name is utterly obscene

If men must die, we must ask why
Their murder is not a sin?
Though our cause is just we've betrayed its trust
If this is what we're fighting for I don't want to win

If unity's the thing we crave, then who will be unified?
The bitter and grieving, no cause to believe in
There'll be one nation in the grave, uniting those who've died

Holy wars, settling scores
Ancient debts to call in
We just loved to kill and we always will
If hatred's all we're fighting for then I don't want to win
I don't want to win
