She says my ass hurts when I sit down
She says my feet hurt from just standing around
I think my body is as restless as my mind
And I don't know if I can roll with it this time

Packed his uniforms
And drove him to the base
She was crying all the way
The world looked her in the face

And said, "Roll with it
Baby, make it your career
Keep the home fires burning
Till America is in the clear"

The mainstream is so polluted with lies
Once you get wet, it's so hard to get dry
We're all taught how to justify history as it passes by
And it's your world that comes crashing down
When the big boys decide to throw their weight around

But just roll with it baby
Make it your career
Keep the home fires burning
Till America is in the clear

What if the enemy isn't in a distant land
What if the enemy lies behind
The voice of command, the sound of war is a child's cry
Behind tinted windows, they just drive by

All I know is that those who are going to be killed
Aren't those who preside on Capitol Hill
I told him, don't fill the front lines of their war
Those assholes aren't worth dying for

But he said, "Roll with it, baby
Make it your career
Keep the home fires burning
Till America is in the clear"

She says, my ass hurts when I sit down
She says my feet hurt from just standing around
I think my body is as restless as my mind
And I'm not gonna roll with it this time
