Get Back In Line

Facin' the world ain't easy

When there isn't anythin' 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 walkin' 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, then the sun begins to shine

Then he walks right past

And I know that I've gotta 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 wanna do is make some money

And bring you home some wine

But I don't want you ever to see me

Standing in that line

'Cause that union man 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, then the sun begins to shine

Then he walks right past

And I know that I've gotta get back in the line

Get back, get back, get right back in the line
