Meg & Dia Fighting for Nothing Lyrics:
When I was younger, I wish that I would have known
better. Better love makes a fat romance, that
lasts for more than a shoe shine. I'm older,
took all the words of my mother, saying, It could
be worse, could be born with that disease, instead
of catching it first. So let’s go back, to the
first time, that I met you, in your Chevy, with
your hands stretched, and me crying, screaming,
“Mercy. Mercy.” But I know that, I was put
here, to fight Vikings, in the cold war, with my
arms out, in the front lines, singing, “Dare me.
Dare me.” But these things take time love. These
things take backbone. And they’ll tell you what
you want to hear ’cause they think it's
better. Better. But you better know how to point
out the liars. you've got to weigh your wars

make sure you're not fighting for nothing.
Nothing. Are you fighting for nothing? It feels
like this world has been growing slowly upside
down. Maybe I should move to China, and straighten
this mess out. Maybe I'll be a poet. Watch all
the sky for falling words. And write about my
grandma’s curtains, or the lady who put the
Chinese buffet in her purse. I've got my mouth.
it's a weapon. it's a bombshell. it's a
cannon. I've got my words. I won’t give them
mercy. Mercy. I've got my words. I hope they
hurt you. I hope they scar you. I hope they heal
you. I hope they cut you open, make you see
you've been warring for all the wrong reasons.
Make you see that some things are worth bruising
for. Make you see that your name is your honor
code. Make you see that your hands you're
accounted for. Pick and choose where your sweat
and your blood will go. Make you see your life’s
not to be lived alone. Run their spit through your
hair, you're worth nothing. Nothing.
