lyrics

There's a quiet dread that comes upon me
Every time I know
I need official documents
There's only one place to go

I walk past the queue for passports
I can do that at the bank
To the building at the bottom
Where there is no social rank

The hours pass, I'm almost
At the front of the queue
A gentleman official comes
To tell us what to do

I'm in the wrong queue
I get sent to the back
Can anybody tell me
Which queue to stand in
To get these hours of my life back

I stare blankly at the ground
To avoid a conversation
An inevitable gripe
About the countries declination

Your marriage wasn't registered
Your baby's name is wrong
You're wondering who you have to pay
To move this thing along

I'm in the wrong queue
I get sent to the back
Can anybody tell me
Which queue to stand in
To get these hours of my life back

I'm catching more flies with honey
I don't think this job is easy money
All this bitching in the queues
About no signs and long lines
Could ignite a short fuse

I'm in the wrong queue
I get sent to the back
Can anybody tell me
Which queue to stand in
To get these hours of my life back

Can anybody tell me
Which queue to stand in
To get these hours of my life back
