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 gotta trouble in the streets tonight
And power keeps us in our places 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 on
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on Layin' it on the line
Just layin' it on
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on
