Is revenge the price of freedom
some 5 years down the road
did the nose bear down on Shanksville
for the soil to erode
can we walk on solid ground
with no mud churned in our wake
or is the garden of eden
still filled with poisonous snakes

rolling on
rolling on
getting further down the line
rolling on
rolling on
setting fire to the pines
rolling on
rolling on
rolling on

Politicians and back roomers
they lead and point the way
with questions they won't answer
they'll bow their heads and pray
while we charged the cockpit
and gave our lives to stay free
they huddle in dark corners
being all that they can be

rolling on
rolling on
getting further down the line
rolling on
rolling on
setting fire to the pines
rolling on
rolling on
rolling on

My life for another
that's a comfortable place to be
but don't tell me that these young kids
are dyin' avenging me

rolling on
rolling on
getting further down the line
rolling on
rolling on
setting fire to the pines
rolling on
rolling on
rolling on

Can a government be hijacked
like the taking of a plane?
either in the name of Allah
or a twisted power game
so remember what we died for
while you kneel or while you sit
and hear me when I tell you
that this is not it

rolling on
rolling on
getting further down the line
rolling on
rolling on
setting fire to the pines
rolling on
rolling on
rolling on
