Well pride is a wonderful thing

Makes a poor man feel like a king

Makes him stand 10 ft tall

Over triumph great and small

Well pride that's a wonderful thing

But,

When you're drowning a line is a line

When you're drowning a line is a line

Do you worry who's hand

Pulls you up on to dry land

When you're drowning a line is a line

Well fame's like a star in the night

The world looks up and you're in sight

No matter what you're like inside

You'll always get a free ride

Well fame's like a star in the night

But,

When you're drowning a line is a line

When you're drowning a line is a line

Do you worry who's hand

Pulls you up on to dry land

When you're drowning a line is a line

Well money, that's the cream on the cake

The more you get the more you make

When you're rich you've got a voice

When you're poor you got no choice

Well money that's the cream on the cake

But,

When you're drowning a line is a line

When you're drowning a line is a line

Do you worry who's hand

Pulls you up on to dry land

When you're drowning a line is a line
