Laying It On The Line

You see it every day in every way

We all hear the same routines

They all say that it's okay

Just let us take care of everything

So we lay it on the line

Layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)

Layin' it all, right on the line

Just layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)

Layin' it all, we're livin on the front line

I can see it in the faces

We got trouble in the streets tonight

And power keeps us in our places

And it doesn't matter if you're left or right

You lay it on the line

Layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)

Just layin' it all, right on the line

Layin' it on the line, (layin' it on the line)

Layin' it all, right on the line

Take it to the wilderness

Into the jungle sun

Lookin' for the voice of reason

Inside this Babylon

Got U.S. boys on foreign soil

Spillin' their blood to keep the peace

Cities will vanish in turmoil

While the sheiks lay sleepin' on the beach

We lay it on the line

Layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)

Layin' it all, right on the line

Just layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)

Layin' it all, right on the line

Layin' it on the line

Just layin' it all

Layin' it on the line

Just layin' it all
