The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964.

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 
Cause 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
