作曲 : Ray Davies
Facing the world ain't easy when there isn't anything going
Standing at the corner waiting watching time go by
Will i go to work today or shall i bide my time
'cos when i see that union man walking down the street
He's the man who decides if i live or i die, if i starve, or i eat
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and i know that i've got to get back in the line
Now i think of what my mamma told me
She always said that it would never ever work out
But all i want to do is make some money
And bring you home some wine
For i don't ever want you to see me
Standing in that line
'cause that union man's got such a hold over me
He's the man who decides if i live or i die, if i starve, or i eat
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and i know that i've got to get back in the line
