Get In Line
Everywhere I go someone's tryin' to be my girlfriend's best friend
I'm tryin' to pretend I'm relaxed but I'm playin' 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
Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "Ahhhhh"
Everything will be all right
If you play along
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 could they want from me?
Is it just a part of a giant government conspiracy?
I gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram-shaped rash
Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "Ahhhhh"
Everything will be all right
This won't hurt at all
Turn it up
Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough
Everything will be all right
If you just lay off
Dictate a memo to myself
Try to find if I'm the only one in complete health
Consult contemporaries if there's some to see
There really isn't anyone who's in my league
The league
Every night at the lanes someone thinks they've got a fine bead on me
I try to take three deep breaths as I lock and arm my mini-van
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
Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "Ahhhhh"
Everything will be all right
This won't hurt at all
Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough
Everything will be all right
If you just lay...
Everything will be all right
If you just lay...
Everything will be all right
If you just lay off

Standard Studio Version: I think this one might stretch the definition of "Greatest Hits," as the King of the Hill soundtrack, from which it comes, has sold about three-and-a-half copies worldwide. However, it does have a video that features cartoon versions of us, and it does have the rather glamorous distinction of having been written in a dressing room in Köln, and a hotel room in Copenhagen. - Steven Page, 2001. |
