Lyrics:

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
