Get Back In Line Lyrics
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 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 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 into line.
This is a really sad song, but it's one of the kinks bests.
