Read the lyric sheet
Verse 1
One pen crossed out a rule at dawn One seal brought it back by noon The court got briefs from both front desks No chair gave up the room A grant check waited by the door The state unlocked its reserve drawer
Pre-chorus
They each had maps that proved the road They each had clocks that said go One side could bar the front gate One knew a gate is not a wall
Chorus
The line keeps moving Though no one leaves the field One hand guards the doorway One hand keeps the seal The line keeps moving Under loss and win By the time they call it settled The next round already has a bill in
Verse 2
A clipboard crossed the market lot One fee was boxed in red The House cut half the cost by law Before the names were read Five questions wore the House's words The race was who would show that day
Chorus
The line keeps moving Though no one leaves the field One hand guards the doorway One hand keeps the seal The line keeps moving Under loss and win By the time they call it settled The next round already has a bill in
Verse 3
A county badge refused the page A mayor left the order cold The state tied aid around the rule And drew each county close Then ink moved to the boardroom desk While boxes full of minutes rolled
Verse 4
They cut the match from one big check A hole showed in the plan The state made fees, put bridge work off And blamed the farther hand Vans and empty leases made the chart Key firms got terms; and the costs came down
Verse 5
One side raised the voting bar The other raised it more A milder name crossed party lines The top two shut the door Then thirty cents of each demand Came home in statehouse clothes The ones outside checked every seam The nameplate read, "The matter's closed"
Chorus
The line keeps moving Though no one leaves the field One hand guards the doorway One hand tests the seal The line keeps moving Under loss and win By the time they call it settled The next round already has a bill in
Inside the recording
One pen crossed out a rule at dawn One seal brought it back by noon
They each had maps that proved the road They each had clocks that said go
The line keeps moving Though no one leaves the field
