Tow The Line Lyrics - New World Orphans - Hed Pe

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
