Hopeless War (La Jolla)

Sung by Piper Patterson (Cherry Valance) and Daniel Marconi (Randy Adderson) Production - La Jolla Lyrics (Some lyrics may be wrong) [Randy] A battle’s raging in my head I told myself I wanted you dead Now I don’t know if I’m sure If I could hate you anymore And I don’t know what to go from here Maybe I’ve been wrong for seventeen years And I know they see the world one way It’s only black and white, but never gray But when that church was burning down I don’t think I could help them out You did something that I could never do But ever since I was a kid, I was told hate your kind Looking in your eyes I find It still doesn’t measure up to you It’s a hopeless war We’re fighting and we don’t even know what for The truth is, even in the end and even if you win It doesn’t change a thing [Cherry] The boy I met the other night Would never take part in this fight In your eyes I saw a joy Now all I can see is war [Randy & Cherry] But this war it eats your up inside ‘Til you’re blinded by your foolish pride You say your doing this in Johnny’s name And for Bob, the Socs do the same One by one, we fall in line Same mistakes, a thousand times Doing what we’ve all been raised to do Now Johnny’s hurt and Bob has died When will we be satisfied? As long as we keep taking sides there’s no way we can override this hopeless war We’re fighting and we don’t even know what for The truth is, even in the end and even if you win It doesn’t change a thing You’ll still be the losers destined to fail And we’ll be the lucky ones who’ve got the whole world by the tail We came to you because we thought you might be the only one who understands This hopeless war is so completely hopeless in the end
