Hit You with the Guilt

Lyrics
They pin you full of medals, thinking everything is settled Like you're some j*rk They make you out a hero, then they turn you into zero 'Cause there's no work They mail congratulations every federal occasion But it still hurts They send you out to kill, then they hit you with the bill And every time you've had your fill They hit you with the guilt You've not committed any crime They hit you with the guilt Anything, if you toe the line They hit you with the guilt You've not committed any crime They hit you with the guilt Anything, if you toe the line They tell you get a job, but there's not a lot to rob And it's too late— can't wait They want you to be patient, get a higher education Find a new trade—self-made They tell you to forget, but the people that you've met Put out quite a chill They treat you like a loser—you're just another user And every time you try to climb the hill They hit you with the guilt You've not committed any crime They hit you with the guilt Anything, if you toe the line They hit you with the guilt You've not committed any crime They hit you with the guilt Anything, if you toe the line It's a crummy situation when the heroes of a nation Are its outlaws There's got to be a reason to keep on believing When you're rubbed raw What happened to the payoff? Just another layoff Just another short-order drill They treat you like a man, then they mark you with a brand And every time you want to kill They hit you with the guilt You've not committed any crime They hit you with the guilt Anything, if you toe the line They hit you with the guilt You've not committed any crime They hit you with the guilt Anything, if you toe the line (Hit you with the guilt) (They hit you with the guilt) (Hit you with the guilt) (Hit you with the guilt) (The guilt)
