Tema

Una pista con conciencia social que se centra en la **pobreza y la miseria**. La letra describe a un hombre que lo ha perdido todo y está 'bailando en la **cola del pan**' (la fila para comida/ayuda), usando distracciones temporales para olvidar su dura realidad y su crisis inminente.

Letra

Ain't got no job Ain't got no smoke Ain't got a car His life's a joke Living on the skids Thinks the world's just fine Forgot what he did Dancing on the breadline No one there to bind him Nothing to remind him Nowhere left to find him About to lose his lifeline He's dancing on the breadline Forgot who he is Forgot who he was Used to call the shots Now he can't connect the dots A mover and shaker Getting closer to his maker Lower than a hemline Dancing on the breadline No one there to bind him Nothing to remind him Nowhere left to find him About to lose his lifeline He's looking for a headline Sniffing up the white lines He's dancing on the breadline Watch him dance About to lose his lifeline He's looking for a headline Sniffing up the white lines He's dancing on the breadline No one, nothing, nowhere The breadline dancing on the breadline Dancing on the breadline He forgot and he ain't got nothing
