Tears for Fears are an English New Wave band formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. Founded after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate, they were initially associated with the New Wave synthesizer bands of the early 1980s but later branched out into mainstream rock and pop, which led to international chart success. more »

What are we fighting for?
What am I trying to restore
By taking aim at you?
It's not that I need the best
I want you to see I
Long to be successfully repressed

I don't know why we fall

What are we fighting for?
Why do I always ask for more
Than this day can provide?
When did I lose your trust?
Why do I need to justify
This dirty little war?
I don't know why we fall

There was a time when
I believed in providence
Where is that confidence now?
I see the world sideways and
I'm falling off again
Into our rarely-go-round

What am I waiting for?
Isn't this where we fade to black
As you walk out the door if I'm so damn sure
What are these tears I
Try to cheerfully ignore?

There was a time when
I believed in providence
Where is that confidence now?
I see the world sideways and
I'm falling off again
Into our rarely-go-round

There was a time when I
Thought our salvation lied
In the nights intimate heat
My anger's contagious my wishes outrageous
But dreams are my only relief

I'm revolving, gravity keeps calling
Falling, into our rarely-go-round
Into our rarely-go-round
Into our rarely-go-round
What are we fighting for?
What are we fighting for?
What are we fighting for?

When all the anger's gone
Who's lost and who has won?
And dare we ask ourselves
Who are we fighting?

When all the anger's gone
Who's lost and who has won?
And dare we ask ourselves
What are we fighting for?
What are we fighting for?
