Place In Line

I'm living in this line 
I know my place, could think of no way 
Of edging along in a loser's race 
The line was moving slowly 
Day by night 
Everybody's shuffling on to keep a place in the line 

Nine long years I've been in line 
Getting nowhere there is no reason 
For this line I don't care. 
Everybody's standing in the burning sun 
Everybody's shuffling on keeping a place in the line 

Don't you think we're gonna make it 
We've got a place in line 
We're gonna make it some time 
Somehow
