# MAKE THE WAR ROOM ANSWER [Intro] Sound the drum! Wake the ground! Every boot makes a thunder sound! Who sent them out? WHO SENT THEM OUT? Then make the war room answer now! [Verse 1] Dust on the buckle, mud on the knee A young man standing where he never planned to be He signed up to serve, not to play a political game Now he's out in the weather while they argue over names Back in the capital, the lights shine white They debate the mission through another long night But the soldier on the ground doesn't get to decide Which promise was honest, which speech was a lie So don't turn his courage into somebody's show Don't call every question a reason to go You can love your country and demand a straight answer You can honor the troops and still challenge the planner [Pre Chorus] Raise that drum Let it pound Let the truth shake the whole damn town [Chorus] MAKE THE WAR ROOM ANSWER! MAKE THE BIG SHOTS SPEAK! WHO OWNS THE PLAN WHEN THE STRONG GET WEAK? BOOTS ON THE GROUND AND THE COST RUNS DEEP! THE PEOPLE WANT THE TRUTH, NOT ANOTHER CHEAP SPEECH! We stand with the soldiers, we stand with their own With the ones on deployment and the ones back home If the mission is right, put the reasons in view If you ask for their lives, owe them honesty too! MAKE THE WAR ROOM ANSWER! LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW! YOU CAN'T SEND THEM INTO FIRE THEN FORGET WHO YOU SENT TO GO! [Verse 2] This ain't a song against the uniform worn It's a song for the people who carry the storm For the medic who works till his hands can't feel For the driver who keeps every convoy wheel For the friend who stays watch when the rest need sleep For the promise to bring every brother home safe For the veteran standing at the checkout line With a thousand old memories trapped in his mind And when the parade ends, don't vanish away Keep the care coming long after the day Give them a future, give families support Let accountability stand in the same damn court [Pre Chorus] Raise that drum Let it pound Let the truth shake the whole damn town [Chorus] MAKE THE WAR ROOM ANSWER! MAKE THE BIG SHOTS SPEAK! WHO OWNS THE PLAN WHEN THE STRONG GET WEAK? BOOTS ON THE GROUND AND THE COST RUNS DEEP! THE PEOPLE WANT THE TRUTH, NOT ANOTHER CHEAP SPEECH! We stand with the soldiers, we stand with their own With the ones on deployment and the ones back home If the mission is right, put the reasons in view If you ask for their lives, owe them honesty too! MAKE THE WAR ROOM ANSWER! LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW! YOU CAN'T SEND THEM INTO FIRE THEN FORGET WHO YOU SENT TO GO! [March Breakdown] LEAD: WHO CARRIES THE WEIGHT? CHANT: THE TROOPS ON THE GROUND! LEAD: WHO NEEDS THE TRUTH? CHANT: THE WHOLE DAMN TOWN! LEAD: WHO DESERVES RESPECT? CHANT: EVERY SOLDIER WHO SERVES! LEAD: WHO MUST ANSWER? CHANT: THE ONES WHO MAKE THE CALL! [Bridge] Not every order is a victory Not every headline tells history The strongest country can face what is true And still stand proud of the people who serve it through No blind devotion, no cheap disgrace Put facts on the table and look us in the face If you believe the price is worth the fight Explain it in daylight, not just under lights [Final Chorus] MAKE THE WAR ROOM ANSWER! MAKE THE BIG SHOTS SPEAK! WHO OWNS THE PLAN WHEN THE STRONG GET WEAK? BOOTS ON THE GROUND AND THE COST RUNS DEEP! THE PEOPLE WANT THE TRUTH, NOT ANOTHER CHEAP SPEECH! We stand with the soldiers, we stand with their own With the ones on deployment and the ones back home Honor their service, keep every promise true The flag means more when accountability comes through! MAKE THE WAR ROOM ANSWER! LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW! RESPECT THE ONES WHO SERVE THIS LAND! AND MAKE THE ONES IN POWER SHOW THEIR HAND! [Outro] Sound the drum! Let it pound! Every boot makes a thunder sound! Who sent them out? WHO SENT THEM OUT? MAKE THE WAR ROOM ANSWER NOW!
