[Verse 1]
If you think that you're strong
Want to fight well come on
And line up (Line up)
When the going gets tough
And your talk ain’t enough
Line up (Line up)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We got to get up, get out before they get us down
'cause living up against the wall, yeah
Has got us locked up
Come on and line up (Line up)
So don't be surprised when they pull the wool over your eyes
You don't get funked up

[Chorus]
If you got all the stuff
And you can't get enough
Then line up (Line up)
If you're out on a limb
And you wanna come in
Then line up, yeah (Line up)

[Post-Chorus]
You're head's down, sitting 'round
Pick your face up off the ground
And get yourself together, baby
And learn to stand tough
Come on and line up (Line up)
We better get to it instead of just standing around
It's time to get down

[Lenny Kravitz]
Come on, Joe!
Aw yeah

[Verse 2]
If you're playing to win
And your only way in
Is line up (Line up)
If we all want to live
And we all gotta give
Line up (Line up)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We got to get up, get out before they get us down
Because living up against the wall, yeah
Has got us locked up
Come on and line up (Line up)
You better get to it instead of just standing around
Yeah, it's time to get down
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
If you got all the stuff
And you can't get enough
Then line up (Line up)
Line up (Line up)
If you're out on a limb
And you wanna come in
Then line up (Line up)
Line up (Line up)
Line up (Line up)

[Outro]
You got to get yourself together
Line up (Line up)
You got to stand up and be counted
Line up (Line up)
You got to love, you got to love
Line up (Line up)
You got to love, you got to love
Uh

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
