"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 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 right back in the line
