Lyrics

Combat

This time, I think you pointed right at you
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
I ask you what side, you pointed it out
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on? Get out

A waste of time if you don't believe
Can't decide to hit the ground
Make your mind
But you're holdin' me down
And over again
Down
And over again
Down

This time I think you pointed right at you
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
I ask you what side, you pointed it out
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?

A waste of time if you don't believe
Can't decide 'til you've hit the ground
Make your mind
Or you don't believe
Can't decide 'til you hit the ground
Make your mind
'Cause you're holdin' me
Down
And over again
Down
And over again
Down
And over again

And don't think that I don't know
Because I do, nice try
'Cause that's what you really like, like, like, like

Lights all dim out, you said
Say somethin' else
Decide, whose side you're on

Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Come on!
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?

Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
