    Story Behind the Song
    rick, inspired by elton john's 'funeral for a friend' and the steve hunter/dick wagner guitar blaze on lou reed's 'sweet jane,' always wanted to write a ten minute song with a lengthy, complex [read: seven minute] intro. but then again, who doesn't.....

    Lyrics
    Frontline

    Wasn't born to be a soldier
    Wasn't raised to raise a hand
    But they said to fight
    If you think you're right
    Take a side and make a stand

    How we wound up on the frontline
    I can't seem to figure out
    Can we ever win, or will we give in
    To this troubled war of doubt

    Yeah, this war of doubt

    Well, they teach you to climb backwards
    So you won't see when you fall
    And that's good to know,
    'Cause the way things go
    Sometimes I can't move at all

    For I fear that with the next step
    I may end up less than alive
    So I stay in place
    And I rest my case
    On the cause to just survive

    And I just survive

    I'm on the frontline, I'm falling out
    I'm on the frontline, I'm falling out

    Wasn't born to be a soldier
    Wasn't raised to raise a hand
    But I learned to fight
    And to feel what's right
    And I know now where we stand

    Will I die here on the frontline
    Not of loss of blood, but of pride
    Well, I'll hold my ground
    'Til they take me down
    Never join the other side

    Yeah, there's just one side

    I'm on the frontline, I'm falling out
    I'm on the frontline, I'm falling out
    I'm on the frontline, I'm falling out
    I'm on the frontline, I'm falling out
