Tow The Line

Lyrics

Please let it be known, I am a true blue, cool-aid drinker.
 No one that ever knew me would accuse me as a thinker.
 If there were a true thought, no not in my dome.
 We're it not for the leash I would not make it home.
 "Every soldier that served with us believed 9/11 was a lie. We thought the people would expose the lie and bring us home. I got friends that are there in Baghdad in '07 on their third tour, three years in Iraq. So... we're done in Baghdad we killed enough people." -Iraq Veteran
 Yeah!
 Bring 'em home!
 Yeah! Yeah!
 Bring 'em home!
 Come On! Come On!
 Soldier soldier Lay your guns down
 You can come home your job is done now
 The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
 We pay the bills while they tow the line
 they tow the line yeah they tow the line
 The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
 We pay the bills while they tow the line
 We all remember where we were that day
 when the lie was born and the tv played
 We danced around in a bloody rage
 while the neo-cons laughed and played
 The call went out and the heed was paid
 The uniform and the Green Berets
 In the wrong time, all in the wrong place
 While the war drums beat all night and day away
 Soldier soldier Lay your guns down
 You can come home your job is done now
 The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
 We pay the bills while they tow the line
 The years went on and nothing changed
 The lie was dying and the tv played that same old song
 but we're not the same
 We're sick and tired of playing that fucked up game
 All the politicians are a fucking shame
 They don't understand a blue collar man
 And the General doesn't fuckin' care
 That a mothers son will never be here again
 Soldier soldier Lay your guns down
 You can come home your job is done now
 The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
 We pay the bills while they tow the line
 they tow the line yeah they tow the line
 The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
 We pay the bills while they tow the line
 The troops come home to Ward 57
 The boys come home confused and forgotten
 Wonderin' if Uncle Sam's still listening
 to kids in the neighborhoods dying for FREEDOM
 We all remember where we were that day
 When the lie was born and the tv played
 We all know that it wasn't for nothing cuz that was the day
 the veil dropped on the illusion
 Soldier soldier Lay your guns down
 You can come home your job is done now
 The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
 We pay the bills while they tow the line
 Soldier soldier Lay your guns down
 You can come home your job is done now
 The Baghdad skies are on fire tonight
 We pay the bills while they tow the line
 "What's our mission? What's our goal? I thought we were gonna find the people that did 9/11, I thought we were gonna get these weapons of mass destruction. We gotta be of help over there. They're like all we're trying to do is make it home alive. You guys know the lies, but I bled for these lies. I watched my brothers die for these lies." -Iraq Veteran
