"Standin' in Line"

Well, you can tell by the lines stretched 'round the block,
Got a problem here, it's time to talk.
Babies loud and lounge too warm, I've been stuck right here
Since 3 this morn.
Now, it's not all right. The TSA
Shrugs and looks the other way.
And no-one tries to understand
The waiting lines' effect on man.

Whether you're a mother or the President's brother,
You're standin' in line, standin' in line.
All our feet are achin' and look how long it's takin',
We're just standin' in line, standin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, standin' in line, standin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, standin' in line....(Should've walked!)

Well now, I get searched, I don't ask why,
But if I miss my plane, I'm gonna cry.
Got some kid's spilled ice cream on my shoes.
I'm a travelin' man, can't help but lose.
Now, I hope my flight has a delay.
Cause I'm still stuck at JFK.
And no-one tries to understand
The waiting lines' effect on man.

Whether you're a mother or the President's brother,
You're standin' in line, standin' in line.
If we smile, we're fakin', our tempers are all breakin',
While we're standin' in line, standin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, standin' in line, standin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, standin' in line....

I'm goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
I'm goin' nowhere. Somebody help me, yeah.
Standin' in line....

Well, you can tell by the lines stretched 'round the block,
Got a problem here, it's time to talk.
Babies loud and lounge too warm, I've been stuck right here
Since 3 this morn.
Now, it's not all right. The TSA
Shrugs and looks the other way.
And no-one tries to understand
The waiting lines' effect on man.

Whether you're a mother or the President's brother,
You're standin' in line, standin' in line.
All our feet are achin' and look how long it's takin',
We're just standin' in line, standin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, standin' in line, standin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, standin' in line....

I'm goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
I'm goin' nowhere. Somebody help me, yeah.
I'm standin' in line.
