Got out of bed, with no where to go As I comb my hair, I didn’t know
What I would do today to pass the time
As I left the house, I left hope behind
As I hit the street, no sun greeted me No smiles on the faces of the people I meet
Here’s the ride step inside, plenty of time to make the line
Life is a line, take a number
Just one big line, that’s all it is Life is a line, just take a number
Just one big line, that’s all it is Life… is a line
Life… is a line, just one big line
Life is a line, take a number
Just one big line, that’s all it is Life is a line, just take a number
Just one big line, I tell it like it is Life is… a line
Life. the line
Life is a line, take a number
Life is a line, that’s all it is Life is a line, take a number
Life is a line, take your place
The end of the line if you please
I go into town to the eagles nest
I vanish in with all the rest
I got into line, and waited to see
What the bureaucrat would do with me Then his ice cold eyes foretold my fate
I knew I had arrived an hour late:
«What's that you say?
No jobs today?
I see you next time right here in the line.»
Life is a line, take a number
Life is a line, take your place
Life is a line, just take a number
Life is a line, take your place
