Layin' It on the Line
Layin' It on the Line: Challenging the Status Quo in a Turbulent World
Lyrics
You see it every day in every way
You witness it daily in various ways
We all hear the same routines
We all encounter the same repetitive patterns
They all say that it's okay
They assert that everything is fine
Just let us take care of everything
Authorize us to handle everything
So we lay it on the line
We confront the situation directly
Layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)
Expressing the act of confronting challenges
Layin' it all, right on the line
Pouring out all, openly and honestly
Just layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)
Continuing to confront challenges openly
Layin' it all, we're livin on the front line
Living on the edge, facing challenges head-on
I can see it in the faces
Observing tension and unrest in people's expressions
We got trouble in the streets tonight
There is trouble brewing in the streets tonight
And power keeps us in our places
Those in power maintain control over us
And it doesn't matter if you're left or right
Political affiliations don't matter
You lay it on the line
Confronting challenges with determination
Layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)
Reiterating the act of facing challenges openly
Just layin' it all, right on the line
Pouring out all, openly and honestly
Layin' it on the line, (layin' it on the line)
Continuing to confront challenges openly
Layin' it all, right on the line
Living on the edge, facing challenges head-on
Take it to the wilderness
Venturing into the unknown
Into the jungle sun
Exploring challenging environments
Lookin' for the voice of reason
Seeking rationality amidst chaos
Inside this Babylon
Amid the chaos of modern society
Got U.S. boys on foreign soil
Americans stationed in foreign lands
Spillin' their blood to keep the peace
Sacrificing blood for the sake of peace
Cities will vanish in turmoil
Cities facing destruction and chaos
While the sheiks lay sleepin' on the beach
While leaders sleep soundly
We lay it on the line
Confronting challenges with determination
Layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)
Reiterating the act of facing challenges openly
Layin' it all, right on the line
Pouring out all, openly and honestly
Just layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)
Continuing to confront challenges openly
Layin' it all, right on the line
Living on the edge, facing challenges head-on
Layin' it on the line
Concluding the theme of confronting challenges
Just layin' it all
Pouring out everything openly and honestly
Layin' it on the line
Final affirmation of facing challenges openly
Just layin' it all
Repeating the idea of revealing everything honestly
