Lined up, classified,
I'm sitting here in this room, a patient biding his time
Seems like my absence here would have made no
Difference
Oh! Yes, yes, I can wait
If not tonight I will come on another day
I put my minor life in your major
Hands, 'cause I'm a
Man from the back of the line, know for
Sure I'm worth nothing, I'm a waste of your time,
Don't bother yourself looking into my eyes, 'cause I'm a
Man from the back of the line
Do my best to stay unnoticed since I'm always so shy
I have no friends as I'm scared to go out and try to find
People tend to forget my name but that's alright!
I excuse them as I know for many people it might
Be inconceivably hard to remember such a rare name as
John
It's so fancy nowadays to stand aside the crowd
Put a quote in every answer, claim you never back down
But I'm a simple guy
And I'm afraid I can't afford that much
Man from the back of the line, know for
Sure I'm worth nothing, I'm a waste of your time,
Don't bother yourself looking into my eyes, 'cause I'm a
Man from the back of the line
Do my best to stay unnoticed since I'm always so shy
I have no friends as I'm scared to go out and try to find
Why does everything tend to end
So fast, before I even know it began
Feel like an old blind cat that everyone is sorry for
But pass by
I need a bit of understanding, ain't too much I'm longing for
If I'd be treated like an equal I could probably do more
Because to you I look stupid
But I was never let to prove otherwise,
Otherwise
