Michael Scotto - Why Did I Fight? (with lyrics)
What happens when you take a teen-angst song about a breakup, run it through a band, then revisit it 4 decades later? You get a pimply hyperbolic, way over the top, breakup song that makes sense for a 19-year-old, but far too melodramatic for a 58-year old, with lots of war imagery...
Words: Michael Scotto
Music: Michael Scotto, Branon Edwards
WHY DID I FIGHT?
There’s dirt on my face
I slowly walk on home
My crawling heart sighs
Once again, I am alone
My blood-spattered uniform
Is better than my tears
For the colors are visible
Covering all my fears
Why did I fight this strife
Listen comrade in arms
You are not worth my life
I’m out of ammunition
The battle is long past
You’ve won the war
And I’m scared the pain will last
I drop to my knees
As a pain cripples my soul
I know the end is near
Memory takes its toll, takes its toll
Why did I fight this strife
Listen comrade in arms
You are not worth my life
I hope you don’t mind
If I die alone out here
As I fall into my grave
I faintly hear you cheer
Why did I fight this strife
Listen comrade in arms
You are not worth my life
Wherever you are
I hope you’re in pain
