The Kinks - Get Back in Line lyrics
[The Kinks - Get Back in Line lyrics]
There isn't anything going
Standing at the corner waiting
Watching time go by
Will I go into 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 mamma 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
For I don't want you ever 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 back, back in the line
