Barenaked Ladies - Get in Line lyrics

[Barenaked Ladies - Get in Line lyrics]

Everywhere I go someone's trying to
Be my girlfriend's best friend
I'm tryin' to pretend I'm relaxed but
I'm playin' castanets with my knees
I try to be cool and give
Her space but a guy's
Always there ready to jump right
Up and take my place
Everyone in this room seems to want to
Make a big fool outta me

Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "Ah" (Ah ah ah ah)
Everything will be alright if you play along

Everywhere I go there's someone in a
Trench coat staring at me
And when I'm not at home I'm
Sure someone's rummaging through my trash
Whatever could they want from me?
Is it just a part of
A giant government conspiracy?
I gotta go see my doctor about
This itchy pentagram shaped rash

Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "Ah" (Ah ah ah ah)
Everything'll be alright
This won't hurt at all everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough (Ah ah ah ah)
Everything'll be alright if you just lay off

Dictate a memo to myself
Tryin' to finally find the only
One in complete health
Consult contemporaries if there are
Some to see
There really isn't anyone who's in my league

Every night at the lanes
Someone thinks they've got a fine bead on me
I try to take three deep breaths as
I walk up to my minivan
Everyone says I'm lookin' great
But it's hard to
Stand up let alone to try to concentrate
I wish that everyone that I knew
Hadn't sold out to the man

Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "Ah" (Ah ah ah ah)
Everything'll be alright
This won't hurt at all everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough (Ah ah ah ah)
Everything'll be alright if you just lay
Everything'll be alright if you just lay
Everything'll be alright if you just lay off
