Lyrics:

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
