Midnight Oil
Stand in Line
[Verse 1]
Oh get down, getting down, so much money in the ground
For the people who don't deserve it now
It's a circus, we're the clowns as the giant ones disown
Every bit of something we call home
[Verse 2]
Said it's a pity 'bout the middle class Holden mass
We get a bit to play around with, doesn't really matter
They kid us with their dole, kid us with the dope
But generally speaking, nobody's got a hope
[Verse 3]
We're playing the music of the middle-aged queens
Getting fatter and fatter and splitting their jeans
It's all the same, we're out in the cold
The good ones died, the others just got old
[Chorus]
Everything's set, everything's fine
You just got to stand in line
Oh, everything's set, everything's fine
You just got to stand in line
[Verse 4]
Can't get enough, get enough
We have to make it now
Everybody's beaten, everybody's down
Oh, everybody's down
[Verse 5]
So goodbye to the creeps who are making it
Goodbye to the let it happen stand
I'm moving out, got no doubt, they've forgotten twist 'n' shout
They never ever listen to the man
[Chorus]
Well, everything's set, everything's fine
You just got to stand in line
Hey, everything's set, everything's fine
You just got to stand in line
