Lyrics
Next In Line
(Kirk/Wilkerson)
Look at the man who could be reaching out
Instead he glues his hands to a sign and shouts
Stomps his feet to the rhythm of everyone else?s drum
But he can?t keep time, he can?t keep time
Look at the way that they live their lives
Look at the way that they write their signs
Clever mottos from clever minds
Why don?t you lose the whining and free up your time
Live life originally
Think for yourself or be the Next In Line
Next In Line
I can?t believe it has come to this
Sitcom actors have joined the crowd
Stomp their feet like a baby with everything it wants
But it has to cry, it has to whine
Look at the way that they hide their lives
Look at the way that they feel so right
I wish they?d shut up and give a dime
Instead of feed us clichéd two-penny lines
Live life originally
Think for yourself or be the Next In Line
Next In Line
Picket signs and picket lines are alright if you read the signs
And everybody knows just what you stand for
Protesting the government as long as you?re discovering
That voting is a valid choice and not a chore
Entertaining politicians terminating state decisions
Pauly Shore?s the next envisioned governor
Magic-marker poster-board, stronger than the sharpest sword
Paper cuts are painful sores and hurt more
Do you want to hold the sign or do you want to be the sign
And let the people read your life for who you are
Do you want to hold the sign or would you rather be the sign
And let the people read your life and follow you?. Follow you.
We are the people of living signs
Lose the whining and free up your time
Baby you?re looking good tonight
Why don?t you drop that sign and drop me a line
Live life originally
Think for yourself or be the Next In Line
Next In Line
We are the people
We are the signs
Just look good, look good at it baby
'Cuz we are the Next In Line
Next In Line.
