He falls, hits the concrete like a sandbag
Stands up, but mistaken for a slav
They put him in the line beyond the tracks
She's alone, being told she was a deadweight
Her folks have nod to offer to late
She ends up in the line beyond the tracks
And the tracks are no use
No trains around here for years and years
Now to shake 'em all loose
Lay them down on sideways coming back
Now the tracks are no use
Great --- has been --- years and years
Now to shake it all loose
Shake all of them monkeys off your back
That were the rules of the one way track
He's alone, sparks flying out of his eyes
An apathy all around where he stands
He steps out of line and beyond the tracks
And she falls, she was pretty close the ground
Lights a cigarette and looks around
She steps out of line and beyond the tracks
And the tracks are no use
No trains around here for years and years
Now to shake 'em all loose
Lay them down on sideways coming back
Now the tracks are no use
Great --- has been --- years and years
Now to shake it all loose
Shake all of them monkeys off your back
Just give your hand
Get your hand right out of the sand
Just give your hand, and stand up, stand up, stand up
Just give your hand
You've got the whole world in your hand
Just give your hand, and stand up, stand up, stand up
Now the tracks are no use
No trains around here for years and years
Now to shake 'em all loose
Lay them down on sideways coming back
Now the tracks are no use
Great --- has been --- years and years
Now to shake it all loose
Shake all of them monkeys off your back
That were the rules of the one way track
