Broken English Lyrics

[00:18.77] Could have come through
[00:21.67] Anytime
[00:25.95] Cold lonely
[00:29.56] Puritan
[00:33.97] What are you
[00:38.06] Fighting for?
[00:41.76] It's not my
[00:45.72] Security
[00:48.19] It's just an old war
[00:52.43] Not even a cold war
[00:56.15] Don't say it in Russian
[01:00.54] Don't say it in German
[01:05.18] Say it in broken English
[01:13.03] Say it in broken English
[01:21.01]
[01:29.12] Lose your father
[01:32.24] Your husband
[01:36.20] Your mother
[01:40.68] Your children
[01:44.57] What are you
[01:48.10]
[01:50.32] Dying for?
[01:52.93] It's not my
[01:56.52] Reality
[01:59.71] It's just an old war
[02:03.39] Not even a cold war
[02:07.61] Don't say it in Russian
[02:11.44] Don't say it in German
[02:15.87] Say it in broken English
[02:23.96] Say it in broken English
[02:31.72] What are you fighting for?
[02:35.42] What are you fighting for?
[02:39.38] What are you fighting for?
[02:43.00] What are you fighting for?
[02:47.10] What are you fighting for?
[02:51.03] What are you fighting for?
[02:55.00]
[03:03.46] Could have come through
[03:07.36] Anytime
[03:11.39] Cold lonely
[03:14.62] Puritan
[03:18.98] What are you
[03:22.48] Fighting for?
[03:26.76] It's not my
