Lyrics
DECIDE WHICH SIDE
VERSE 1:
YOU SAY YOU?RE IN THE WAR NOW FIGHT?IN OVERSEAS
HELPING TO WIN FOR OUR JUST CAUSE
BUT YOU COME BACK TO THE GOOD ?OL U S OF A
AND YOU FIND THAT WE?RE IN NEED OF THE LORD
REMEMBER THE COMMANDMENTS
REMEMBER THE PLEDGE
REMEMBER THE SORROW AND HEARTEACHES
THAT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE WHEN YOU DIE
YOUR?E GOING TO LIVE IN A PLACE
THAT BEGINS WITH THE LETTER ?H?
CHORUS:
IT?S NOT TOO LATE TO DECIDE WHICH SIDE YOU?RE ON
IT?S ONLY JESUS AND THE DEVIL BEYOUND
YOU CAN WIN A LOT OF FIGHTS AND LOSE THE WAR
BUT THERE IS SURELY ONE TRUE OPEN DOOR
THE COMRADES KEEP ATTACKING, SINGING LULLABYS
AS A NICKEL IS THROWN INTO THE POT
THE CARDS HAVE BEEN DELT AND THE LONELY JACK OF SPADES
HAS AN EYE WITH ONLY ONE DOT
COUNT THE SQUARES ON THE CEILING, COUNT HE SQUARES ON THE FLOOR
COUNT THE SQUARES THAT ENCIRCLE YOUR HEART
YOU?RE LIVING IN A DREAM IF YOUR PRETTY RETANGULAR HOME
IS ADJACENT TO AN ALL-NITE WAL-MART
CHORUS:
OUR PUBLICITY AND OUR NETWORKS COVERING THE BOMBS
AS WE FRAME BY FRAME WATCH SHOCK AND AWE
GRAB YOU?RE KIDS AND THE FAMILY, PUT SOME BURGERS AND SOME PIZZAS ON
IT?S TIME FOR DINNER AND A WAR
CHORUS:
