Three O'clock Flagpole Lyrics

have you ever wondered why we fight?
maybe it's something that drives us inside
we want to be better than the next
instead of doing what is best

so what if he's faster than you
or smarter than you
is that a reason to pick a fight?
think about it, do what's right

(chorus)
we try so hard to be the best
we destroy, we fight, and we protest
then we find someone else to blame
because it wasn't us that caused the pain

instead of hate give friendship a chance
it has promise, make it stand
do what's right, and do it fast
cause you can never change the past

(verse)
we fight wars everyday
some we win, some who can say
we fight wars in our own home
we fight wars all alone

we think the answer is in this fight
so we try to win with all our might
but in the end its a waste of time
we lost that picture we had in mind

(chorus)

(outro)
let me try to make you see
fighting is not an answer or the key
how about you try unity
take it slow and let it be

in the end, we're all the same
face the facts, face the pain
you and me, we're the same
no one wins and no ones to blame
