Lyrics: Kinks. Get Back in Line.
Facing the world ain't easy
When there isn't anything going
Standing at the corner waiting
Watching time go by
Will I go to work today
Or shall I bide my time
'Cause when I see that union man
Walking down the street
He's the man who decides
If I live or I die, if I starve or I eat
Then he walks up to me
And the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know
That I've got to get back in the line
Now I think of what my mama told me
She always said that it would never ever work out
But all I want to do is make some money
And bring you home some wine
But I don't ever want you to see me
Standing in that line
'Cause that union man's
Got such a hold over me
He's the man who decides
If I live or I die, if I starve or I eat
Then he walks up to me
And the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know
That I've got to get back in the line
Get back, get back
Get right back in the line
When there isn't anything going
Standing at the corner waiting
Watching time go by
Will I go to work today
Or shall I bide my time
'Cause when I see that union man
Walking down the street
He's the man who decides
If I live or I die, if I starve or I eat
Then he walks up to me
And the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know
That I've got to get back in the line
Now I think of what my mama told me
She always said that it would never ever work out
But all I want to do is make some money
And bring you home some wine
But I don't ever want you to see me
Standing in that line
'Cause that union man's
Got such a hold over me
He's the man who decides
If I live or I die, if I starve or I eat
Then he walks up to me
And the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know
That I've got to get back in the line
Get back, get back
Get right back in the line
