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
Chorus:
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
(Guitar solo)
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
