Back of the Line - Remix

Back on the throughways
I had the time of my life
Skip to the new phase
Could cut the strain with a knife
I'll get my dues paid
'Til then keep dodgin' the call
There's been a few things
That left me takin' a hit
Take off your shoestrings
You'll get 'em back in a bit
Since then I grew wings
Just another fly on the wall

And don't you worry everything's gon' come in time
Until then, just take the best you can get
Send the rest to the back of the line

All of this hearsay
Has got me crossin' my heart
Maybe a mistake
To play this game from the start
My pound of flesh weighed
And I'm in over my head
It's feast or famine that we're gettin'
Now we're back on the hook
And I've gotten so damn good at quittin'
I could write half a book
The difficulty is admittin'
You're just pullin' the thread

And when the taxman comes, he might be takin' it all
But baby when we find ourselves with our backs to the wall
Oh, don't you worry everything's gon' come in time
Until then, if you know where to sign
Just take the best you can get
Send the rest to the back of the line

And when the taxman comes, he might be takin' it all
But baby when we find ourselves with our backs to the wall
Oh, don't you worry everything's gon' come in time
Until then, if you know where to sign
Just take the best you can get
Send the rest to the back of the line

To the back of the line
To the back of the line
Back of the line
