Hit with the bug to run, you didn´t go to college we can use you son You look like the pride of your home town
But how can you hold out when your luck is down
(Chorus) Ain´t it a shame, ain´t it a shame, ain´t it a shame, ain´t it a shame. Because I´m too tired to run around Meeting people from the wrong side of town Looking for a place to live, I´ve got no money nothing to give, listen All you gotta do is look around for something that´s new find a job that´s stimulating, that´s easy and I´m still waiting
(Chorus) I´ve stood in line and done my time With nothin´ to do all day
I´ve stood in line with all my friends With nothin´ to say all day, I´ve stood in line and done my time With nothin´ to do all day I´ve stood in line with all my friends With nothin´ to say all day, nothin´ to say all day. Got brains but got no drive Money´s cheap, the roads are wide All the good positions go too fast I need a job I know will last I´ve got a job for you can you push that shovel can you swing that broom Keep your head down and don´t go slow But don´t forget to stop with the whistle. (Chorus)
