Electric Six - I Belong in a Factory

Текст песни

Life in 360 degrees
I’m just one of the busy bees
Buzzing in time to the one two threes
Doing heavy lifting and destroying my knees
Kids today, they never say please
But today’s angry youth ain’t angry enough for me
I’m being all I can be
On a working man’s salary
I belong in a factory
Maybe one day I’ll take a day off or three
And I’ll build you a house in a tree
So you can look down at the factory
Consume me
In due time you will come to see
There is nothing wrong with you that’s not wrong with me
With everybody here stepping on my feet
It’s a wonder that both ends always meet
But we separate the chaff from the wheat
Today’s middle class is just so bourgeoisie
And I’m picking up my disease
On a working man’s salary
I belong in a factory
Maybe one day I’ll get my foreman to see
That productivity
Is going way up in the factory
Because of me
Once I was led to believe
That you’d return and come back to me
Working the earth and planting our seeds
Growing alfalfa, carrots and peas
Now my heart, it just bleeds
And bleeds and bleeds ever since you felt the need
To open your mouth and sneeze
All over my working man’s salary
I belong in a factory
Maybe one day when it’s under lock and key
We can start a colony
For people who used to be people in a factory
Like me
Let’s hear it for the factory
The only thing that’s understood me truly
Made a factory man outta me
Three cheers for the factory
Go factory
