[Verse 1]
I can't shake this feeling
At the end of 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

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a fight, it takes so long
But I've learned to hold my own

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I walk home in the shadows
I carry my cage
And I hope they notice
What I brought to the stage
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's a fight and it takes so long
But I've learned to hold my own

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
