Lyrics The Assembly Line - Commodores

The Assembly Line

From the moment you’re born
You’re on the line, line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
From the moment you’re born
They take your fingerprints
The way you think
Got you down in pen and ink
They tell you you can do your very own thing
Ooh, but try people, see the hurt it bring, yeah
Soon little boys learn to be ashamed of tears they cry
If a girl wants a football, someone must go in and ask her why
From the moment you’re born
You’re on the line, line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
From the moment you’re born
You’re on the line, line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
Look at the kindly lawyer whom you turn to when in need
Steals with the other lawyer making underhand deals
The judge gives his judgement with his holy book
Doesn’t always go by facts but really how you look
From the moment you’re born
You’re on the line, line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
From the moment you’re born
You’re on the line, line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
Life should be beautiful glow
There’ll be no tomorrow if we don’t change the world
Life, we gotta try to change
To save our future children, the ones we haven’t made
From the moment they’re born
You know, from the moment they’re born
They’re on the la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la line
From the moment you’re born
You’re on the line, line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
From the moment you’re born
You’re on the line, line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
From the moment you’re born
You’re on the line, line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
From the moment you’re born
You’re on the line, line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
(One, two, three, four)
From the moment you thought
You’re on the bad line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
From the moment you thought
You’re on the bad line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
From the moment you thought
You’re on the bad line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
From the moment you thought
You’re on the bad line, assembly line
Keeps on messing with your mind
