Layin' It On The Line

(album: Nuclear Furniture - 1984)

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

Laying it on the line (Laying it on the line)
Laying it all, right on the line
Just laying it on the line (Laying it on the line)
Laying 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

Laying it on the line (Laying it on the line)
Just laying it all, right on the line
Laying it on the line, (laying it on the line)
Laying it all, right on the line

Take it to the wilderness
Into the jungle sun
Looking for the voice of reason
Inside this Babylon

Got U.S. boys on foreign soil
Spilling their blood to keep the peace
Cities will vanish in turmoil
While the sheiks lay sleeping on the beach
We lay it on the line

Laying it on the line (Laying it on the line)
Laying it all, right on the line
Just laying it on the line (Laying it on the line)
Laying it all, right on the line
Laying it on the line
Just laying it all
Laying it on the line
Just laying it all
