(graham russell) Hit with the bug to run, you didn't go to college we can use you son You look like the pride of your home town But how can you hold out when your luck is down (chorus) Ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame. Because I'm too tired to run around Meeting people from the wrong side of town Looking for a place to live, I've got no money nothing to give, listen All you gotta do is look around for something that's new Find a job that's stimulating, that's easy and I'm still waiting (chorus) I've stood in line and done my time With nothin' to do all day I've stood in line with all my friends With nothin' to say all day, I've stood in line and done my time With nothin' to do all day I've stood in line with all my friends With nothin' to say all day, nothin' to say all day. Got brains but got no drive Money's cheap, the roads are wide All the good positions go too fast I need a job I know will last I've got a job for you can you push that shovel can you swing that broom Keep your head down and don't go slow But don't forget to stop with the whistle. (chorus) (compliments to sharon mcharg)
