wait in line

i can't shake this feeling

at the end o' each day

that i keep on working hard

but all i do is get paid

though i keep believing

there's a light up ahead

'cause it's only getting darker

and i could stay in my bed

it's a fight

it takes so long

but i've learned to hold my own

so i stand

and i wait in line

with a heavy head

and this bottle of wine

and i watch

as they steal my time

i stand and i wait in line

i stand and i wait in line

i walk home in the shadows

i carry my cage

and i hope they notice

what i brought to the stage

'cause it's a fight

and it takes so long

but i've learned to hold my own

so i stand

and i wait in line

with a heavy head

and this bottle of wine

and i watch

as they steal my time

i stand and i wait in line

i stand and i wait in line

ooh whenever it gets inside

it gets so hard to hide

whenever it gets inside

ooh i know you'll turn out right

giving it all my life

i know you'll turn out right

and i stand

and i wait in line

with a heavy head

and this bottle of wine

and i vow

as they steal my time

i know one day i'll get mine

and i stand here and wait in line

i stand and i wait in line

i stand and i wait in line
