Get In Line lyrics
by Barenaked Ladies
[Verse 1]
Everywhere I go someone's trying to be my girlfriend's best friend
I'm trying to pretend I'm relaxed but I'm playing castanets with my knees
I try to be cool and give her space
But a guy's always there ready to jump right up and take my place
Everyone in this room seems to want to make a big fool out of me
[Chorus]
Everybody open your mouth (Everybody, everybody)
Everybody just say "Ah" (Ah ah ah ah)
Everything will be alright if you play along
[Verse 2]
Everywhere I go there's someone in a trench coat staring at me
When I'm not at home I'm sure someone's rummaging through my trash
Whatever good they want from me
Is a distant part of a giant government conspiracy
I got to go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram-shaped rash
[Chorus]
Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "Ah" (Ah ah ah ah)
Everything will be alright, this won't hurt at all (turn it up)
Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough (Ah ah ah ah)
Everything will be alright if you just lay off
[Bridge]
Dictate a memo to myself
Try to find if I'm the only one in complete health
Consult contemporaries, if there're some to see
There really isn't anyone who's in my league (my league)
[Verse 3]
Every night at Elaine's, someone thinks they've got to find beyond me
I try to take three deep breaths as lock and arm my minivan
Everyone says I'm looking great
But it's hard to stand up, let alone to try to concentrate
I wish that everyone that I knew hadn't sold out to the man
[Chorus]
Everybody open your mouth (Everybody, everybody)
Everybody just say "Ah" (Ah ah ah ah)
Everything will be alright, this won't hurt at all
Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough (Ah ah ah ah)
Everything will be alright if you just lay
Everything will be alright if you just lay
Everything will be alright if you just lay off
