Post 251: Lines (9/28/00)

Lines (8/19/09 c, 9/28/09 w)

It seems like all we ever do
Is stand in a line that never moves
To think of all the times we waste
Because someone else made us wait
Trying to stay out of lines

Monday comes again
You want to find something to buy
But they make you wait
While the machines calculate
And those are another 10
Minutes you’ll never get back again

It seems like all we ever do
Is stand in a line that never moves
To think of all the times we waste
Because someone else made us wait
Trying to stay out of lines

Now you’re at the DMV
And you have time to contemplate
All of human history
They make you stand in a line that never moves
Only to tell you, you’re in the wrong one
Then it’s another really long line that leads nowhere

It seems like all we ever do
Is stand in a line that never moves
To think of all the times we waste
Because someone else made us wait
Trying to stay out of lines

Now you have time to contemplate
Everything in your life
But you don’t have the time
Because it’s been taken from you
Waiting in unnecessary lines

It seems like all we ever do
Is stand in a line that never moves
To think of all the times we waste
Because someone else made us wait
Trying to stay out of lines
