Questioning the Line

(solo)

[Intro]
Hey, what's the deal? I'm standing here, real and straight
Got something on my mind, so tell me, what do you think?

(Solo)

[Verse 1]
Is it just the work, or do you see me as the problem?
Why am I the target, when I walk how I want?
You pay me for my time, but do you know who I am?
This ain't sale of a soul, it's work, not holy land


[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me, boss, what’s the agenda?
Are you listening, or just pretending?
When I show my finger, who's really offended?
Who’s the one, really, defending?


[Chorus]
Why should I bow, why should I bend?
Is this just business, or is this the end?
Am I just a number, a tool, a pawn?
Or do you see a man, alive and strong?


[Verse 2]
I walk my path, I do my thing
Yeah, I keep my life out of this ring
You interfere, I step away
Don't mistake my silence for dismay


[Pre-Chorus]
Ask yourself, why am I walking out?
Is it defiance, or are you in doubt?
What do you see when I stand tall?
Just an employee, or more at all?


[Chorus]
Why should I bow, why should I bend?
Is this just business, or is this the end?
Am I just a number, a tool, a pawn?
Or do you see a man, alive and strong?



[Bridge]
I learned early, keep my life apart
Separate the business, guard my heart
When you cross the line, I’ll make it clear
I’m here to work, but I won’t disappear



[Outro]
So tell me now, what’s the true score?
This relationship work or war?
I walk how I want, I do what I do
And if you bother, I walk out on you.
