I'm living in this line
 I know my place, could think of no way
 Of edging along in a loser's race
 The line was moving slowly
 Day by night
 Everybody's shuffling on to keep a place in the line

 Nine long years I've been in line
 Getting nowhere there is no reason
 For this line I don't care.
 Everybody's standing in the burning sun
 Everybody's shuffling on keeping a place in the line

 Don't you think we're gonna make it
 We've got a place in line
 We're gonna make it some time
 Somehow
