Stiff Little Fingers

Stiff Little Fingers are a punk rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. They formed in 1977, at the height of the Troubles. They started out as a schoolboy band called Highway Star (named after the Deep Purple song), doing rock covers, until they discovered punk. They split up after six years and four albums, although they reformed five years later, in 1987. Despite major personnel changes, they are still touring and recording as of 2011. Jake Burns, their lead singer, is the only member to have been with the band during all its incarnations, but in March 2006, original bass guitarist Ali McMordie rejoined them following the departure of The Jam bass player Bruce Foxton after fifteen years. more »

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

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

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