Get Back in Line - The Kinks

Facing the world aint easy when there isnt anything going

Standing at the corner waiting watching time go by Will I go to work today or shall I bide my time

cos when I see that union man walking down the street

Hes 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 Ive 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 dont ever want you to see me Standing in that line

cause that union mans got such a hold over me Hes 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 Ive got to get back in the line
