lyrics

We stood before a mighty land, with room enough for us to demand
With biased guides and petty divides we split it up 10 miles a side
And Oregon Trails tipping the scales, we'll be the ones overrun
We were only destined to fall

If you don't have good ideas, better make sure you have a gun
So westward we march as one

Woah oh!
So you go and start a war
Woah oh!
To figure out what we're fighting for
Our righteousness will go to excess
We may not have plans, but nevertheless
Woah oh!
What is it you're waiting for?

Did we do enough to follow the signs?
Laying down pipes and snorting up lines
We know you would quit if they called your bluff
but the profit line is motive enough

Our pride would crumble down if we recognized it's already gone
So eastward we march on

Woah oh!
So you go and start a war
Woah oh!
To figure out what we're fighting for
Our righteousness will go to excess
We may not have plans, but nevertheless
Woah oh!
What is it you're waiting for?

We were only destined to fall

What do we want?
We want it all!

We were only destined to fall

Woah oh!
So you go and start a war
Woah oh!
To figure out what we're fighting for
Now we march back for power and wealth
but the battles we fight are against ourselves

Woah oh!
So you go and start a war
Woah oh!
To figure out what we're fighting for
Our righteousness will go to excess
We may not have plans, but nevertheless
Woah oh!
What is it we're waiting for?
