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
`Cos 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
