You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion By some people who withdraw to find their head And they say that there's no humor in misfortune No, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
Why am I fighting to live If I'm just living to fight Why am I trying to see If there ain't nothing in sight Why am I trying to give When no one gives me a try Why am I dying to live If I'm just living to die
You know some people say that values are subjective But they're just speaking words that someone else has said And so they live and fight and kill with no objective Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead
Why am I fighting to live If I'm just living to fight Why am I trying to see If there ain't nothing in sight Why am I trying to give When no one gives me a try Why am I dying to live If I'm just living to die
You know I used to weave my words into confusion And so I hope you'll understand me when I'm through You know I used to live my life as an illusion But reality will make my dream come true
So I'll keep fighting to live Till there's no reason to fight And I'll keep trying to see Until the end is in sight You know I'm trying to give So come on give me a try You know I'm dying to live Until I'm ready to die
Oh oh oh yeah No no no You know I'm dying to live Until I'm ready to die
