Bruce Hornsby and the Range, "The Way It Is"
Misheard Lyrics:
Standing in line, Muppet time
or
Standing in line, market time
or
Standing in line, Mountain Time
Waiting for the warfare time
(later)
Well, they passed the lord in '64
To kittens who ain’t got a little more
Original Lyrics:
Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
(later)
Well, they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain’t got a little more
