Black Star Riders – In The Shadow Of The War Machine lyrics
[Intro]
Junior started school today
In the shadow of the war machine
The rent is due and there's bills to pay
In the shadow of the war machine

[Verse 1]
Junior started school today
In the shadow of the war machine
The rent is due and there's bills to pay
In the shadow of the war machine
My mama's sick, I can't afford no doc
In the shadow of the war machine
Pay my taxes, then what have I got?
In the shadow of the war machine

[Chorus]
A little something to ease the conscience
Hey, Mr. President, are you watching?
One step forwards and two steps backwards
We can't stand up for falling down

[Verse 2]
I'm tired of living on my knees
In the shadow of the war machine
I'm sick of saying pretty please
In the shadow of the war machine
What in the world have we done to deserve this?
In the shadow of the war machine
Vote for a clown and you'll get a circus
In the shadow of the war machine

[Chorus]
A little something to ease the conscience
Hey, Mr. President, are you watching?
One step forwards and two steps backwards
We can't stand up for falling down

[Bridge]
I gotta get out, I gotta, gotta get out
I gotta get out, I gotta, gotta get out
I gotta get out, I gotta, gotta get out
I gotta get out, I gotta, gotta get out

[Chorus]
A little something to ease the conscience
Hey, Mr. President, are you watching?
One step forwards and two steps backwards
We can't stand up for falling down

[Post-Chorus]
I gotta get out, I gotta, gotta get out

[Chorus]
A little something to ease the conscience
Hey, Mr. President, are you watching?
One step forwards and two steps backwards
We can't stand up for falling down

[Outro]
In the shadow, in the shadow
In the shadow of the war machine
