Draw The Line

Don’t ask me I just work here
Don’t ask me I’m just toeing the line
Don’t ask me I just work here
Don’t ask me I’m just biding my time

Do you know what’s in the air, you breathe it
Do you care what’s in the dirt, you eat it
Do you know where it drains
or who it’s gonna hurt
Do you know who’s on the border
separating the children
I bet you must be so glad
they didn’t do that to your pilgrims

Where do you draw the line, I draw it right here in front of me
Where do you draw the line, I draw it all the way around us
Where do you draw the line

Don’t ask me I just work here, don’t ask me I’m just toeing the line
Don’t ask me I got two more weeks and then I’ll be working with a friend of mine
Don’t ask me I just work here, don’t ask me I’m just biding my time
Don’t ask me I know that he got his yeah and I am damn sure getting mine
Do you care if the people got any water to drink
Do you wonder if the grid might be nearing the brink
Are we divided forever, cause that was the plot
They’re trophy killing the American dream yeah we’re just gonna sit back and watch

Where do you draw the line, I draw it right here in front of me
Where do you draw the line, I draw it all the way around us
Where do you draw the line

Don’t ask me I just work here, don’t ask me I’m just sinking my teeth
Into the land of the free, into the jaws of the beast
You’re free to starve, you’re free to rot
You’re free to watch em take every last thing you got
You’re free to suffer just because you got sick
You’re free to die from a prescription that you just can’t kick
Are your knees getting weaker, is your back getting bent
Are you still having trouble coming up with the rent
Are we divided forever, then the plan is complete
Somewhere I bet they’re drinking brown liquor and eating red meat

Where do you draw the line, I draw it right here in front of me
Where do you draw the line, I draw it all the way around us
Where do you draw the line I draw it right here in front of me
Where do you draw the line we just can’t hide until they find us

Do you know what’s in the air, don’t ask me
Do you care what’s in the dirt, I just work here
Do you know where it drains, don’t ask me
or who it’s gonna hurt, I just work here
Do you care if the people, don’t ask me
Got any water to drink, I just work here
Do you wonder if the grid, don’t ask me
Might be nearing the brink, I just work here
Are we divided forever, don’t ask me
Then the plan is complete, I just work here
Somewhere I bet they’re drinking brown liquor and eating red meat
