Get Back in Line (live version)

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

But 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 old mama told me
She always said that it would never, ever work out
But all I wanna do is make some money
And bring you home some wine
But 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
