Tug-O-War Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ThisTypeofThinking 

Cover art for Tug-O-War lyrics by Chevelle

I don't think it has anything to do with Iraq. I think it looks at a person being pulled in different directions, coming to grips with the conflict in their heart. Though Chevelle is not technically a "Christian" band, they are still spiritual and write songs about internal struggles. "The reason never outweighs the truth" means that the reason for sinning here on earth never outweighs the truth of God, and "the liars club, cometh shame" shows the remorse that they have after committing sins such as lying. That's what the song means to me anyway, especially because Chevelle has never written about political matters, only emotions.

@ThisTypeofThinking This makes perfect sense.
