Meg & Dia - Fighting For Nothing

When I was younger,

I wish that I would have known better

Better love makes a fat romance,

Lasts for more than a shoe shine

I'm bolder, took all the words of my mother

Saying it could be worse

Could be born with that disease

Instead of catching it first

So let's go back to the first time

That I met you in your Chevy

With your hands stretched and me crying,

Screaming "mercy, mercy"

But I know that I was put here

To fight vikings in the cold war,

With my arms out in the front

Singing "tear me, tear me"

These things take time, love

These things take backbone

And they'll tell you what you want to hear

They say it gets better, better

But you better know how to point out the liars

You've got to win your wars, make sure

You're not fighting for nothing, nothing

Are you fighting for nothing, nothing

It feels like this world has been growing slowly upside down,

Maybe I should move to China, straighten this mess out

Maybe I'll be a poet, watch all the sky for falling words

Write about my grandma's curtains

Or the lady who put the chinese buffet in her purse

I've got my mouth, it's a weapon

It's bombshell, it's a cannon

I've got my words, I won't give them mercy, mercy

These things take time, love

These things take backbone

And they'll tell you what you want to hear

They say it gets better, better

But you better know how to point out the liars

You've got to win your wars, make sure

You're not fighting for nothing, nothing

Are you fighting for nothing, nothing

I hope they cut you open, make you seal the warn

For all the wrong reasons, make you see

That some things were worth bruising for

Make you see that your name is your honor code

Make you see that your hands you're accounted for

They can choose where your sweat and you blood will go

Make you see your life's not to be lived alone

Run the strip through your hair

You're worth nothing, nothing

These things take time, love

These things take backbone

And they'll tell you what you want to hear

They say it gets better, better

But you better know how to point out the liars

You've got to win your wars, make sure

You're not fighting for nothing, nothing

These things take time, love

These things take backbone

And they'll tell you what you want to hear

They say it gets better, better

But you better know how to point out the liars

You've got to win your wars, make sure

You're not fighting for nothing, nothing

Are you fighting for nothing, nothing
