Food line

Waiting in the food line
Hoped last time would be the last time
Waiting in the food line
When we make the front, who knows what we’ll find

We were taught to be good
Even when things are bad
Our whole life misunderstood
But that’s no reason to be sad

Waiting in the food line
When you whisper it’ll all be fine
Waiting in the food line
I’ll take your hand, and you’ll take mine

We try to be good
Even when things are bad
I know we’re misunderstood
But that’s no reason to be mad

Stranded in the parking lot
Singing songs because the car won’t start
See the people at the end of the line
But we don’t see how our lives entwine

It’s hard to be good
When everything seems so bad
I’d change it all if I could
But I won’t change what we had

We were taught to be good
Even when things are bad
Our whole life misunderstood
But that’s no reason to be sad

Waiting in the food line
When you whisper it’ll all be fine
Waiting in the food line
I’ll take your hand, and you’ll take mine
