Battleline

Never cruel, just the truth
As your words went flying
And the price of advice
Left a good friend crying
Oh, you failed
Though intentions were good
You never seem able
To do what you should

Oh, the joke that you told
Boy, you had 'em laughing
It was blue, rather lewd
And your taste was lacking
There's a burning
Deep in your soul
You're missing the mark
By a mile of your goal

You're livin' on the Battleline
There's a war raging in your heart
Livin' on the Battleline
Compromise now
And you'll lose beforе you start
On the Battleline
You'vе got to be faithful to the Call
You can't afford to waste your time
When you live on the Battleline

The romance in a glance
Knows the Rule you're breaking
Your desire is afire
Is the risk worth taking?
An illusion is draggin' you down
When you could be standing
On holy ground

You're livin' on the Battleline
There's a war raging in your heart
Livin' on the Battleline
Compromise now
And you'll lose before you start
On the Battleline
You've got to be faithful to the Call
You can't afford to waste your time
When you live on the Battleline
On the Battleline
On the Battleline

Livin' on the Battleline
There's a war raging in your heart
Livin' on the Battleline
Compromise now
And you'll lose before you start
On the Battleline
You've got to be faithful to the Call
You can't afford to waste your time
When you live on the Battleline
On the Battleline
On the Battleline
On the Battleline
