Get Back In Line (2020 - Remaster)

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 mama 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 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
