Place In Line lyrics

I'm living in this line
I know my place, could think of no way
Of edging along in a loser's race
The line was moving slowly
Day by night
Everybody's shuffling on to keep a place in the line
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/deep_purple/place_in_line.html ]
Nine long years I've been in line
Getting nowhere there is no reason
For this line I don't care.
Everybody's standing in the burning sun
Everybody's shuffling on keeping a place in the line

Don't you think we're gonna make it
We've got a place in line
We're gonna make it some time
Somehow
