Roll with It lyrics

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"

"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 when I'm standing around

I think my body is as restless as my mind

No, I'm not gonna roll with it this time

I'm not gonna roll with it this time

I'm not gonna roll with it this time"
