lyrics

Get In Line

My job is to lay down some lines.
They don’t all have to be perfect but a few would be nice.
Lay it all down to melody rhythm and rhyme.
Just do it once and then time after time.

Just think of the homeless, heart-broken, enslaved,
Victims of timing wave after wave,
Ignorant and brave souls fighting both sides of the line.
Not believing the truth because the truth has been denied.

Hail, hail U.S. of A! If you don’t want ran over better get out of the way.
It’s a great big machine, we can’t stop this thing now.
If we try to slow down we might crash to the ground.

I don’t think it’s what the Natives had in mind.
Reservations and casinos won’t make it all just fine.
Sorry for the slaughter of your sacred ground.
Nothing says sorry like throwing money down.

Hail, hail U.S. of A! If you got ran over, shoulda got out of the way.
Don’t block the path of our beautiful dream.
You can even have your own, just ask Dr. King.

You can buy lot of things made by blood sweat and tears.
But it’s hard to buy anything made around here.
And with credit you can spend more than you’ll ever see.
If it’s good enough for the government, it’s good enough for me.

Hail, hail U.S. of A! Get right in line or get out of the way.
‘Cause we got the right to say all we believe.
And if you don’t like it, you can always just leave.

Hail, hail U.S. of A! If you don’t want ran over better get out of the way.
It’s a great big machine, we can’t stop this thing now.
If we try to slow down we might crash to the ground.
