Line 'Em Up |
| I remember Richard Nixon back in '74 |
| And the final scene at the White House door |
| And the staff lined up to say good-bye |
| Tiny tear in his shifty little eye |
| He said, «Nobody knows me |
| Nobody understands |
| These little people were good to me |
| Oh I’m gonna shake some hands |
| Somebody line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Want you to line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Line 'em up, line 'em all up" |
| Ah at that time my heart was all broke |
| I looked like ashes and smelled like smoke |
| And I turned away from my loving kind |
| Tried to leave my body and live in my mind |
| But it’s much too much emotion |
| To hold it in your hand |
| They’ve got waves out on the ocean |
| They gonna wear away the land |
| I say line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Want you to line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Line 'em up, line 'em all up ah |
| Oh, I’ve seen corn in Kansas |
| And I’ve seen picket fences |
| And certain cowboy dances |
| I’ve gone lining up for shows |
| I’ve been safely placed in rows |
| Sure I know how it goes |
| Another day goes by, little time machine |
| I’m raking my brain over what it might mean |
| Just to claim the time and to turn away |
| Make today today |
| Who waits for you, lonely tired old toad? |
| It’s your life laid out before you |
| Like the broken white line |
| Down the center of the doggone road |
| Line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Easy just to line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Yeah, big moon landing |
| People all standing up |
| Smile for the loved ones |
| They go walking on down the aisles |
| Each re-engages |
| Stepping into the sun |
| I watch them turn like pages |
| One by one by one |
| Somebody line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Want you to line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Easy just to line 'em all up |
| It works when you line 'em up, line 'em all up |
| Can’t you just line 'em up, line 'em all up |
