The Factory Song
|
(Words and music by Kirk McLeod)
|
|
I wonder how I wonder why
|
Without this factory could we ever survive
|
I wonder who I wonder where
|
Are faring better than those around here
|
I left my home and I said my goodbyes
|
I traveled safely though some met their demise
|
I work all day I work into the night
|
I've joined the union and I'm all right
|
|
Now I lay me down to work
|
I pray my soul won't get there first
|
If I should die before I make it back home
|
Please carry me home
|
|
I share this cellar with five of my friends
|
When the big bell rings our day's at an end
|
We clear our throats from the dusty air
|
The machinery's din we always hear
|
|
Now I lay me down to work
|
I pray my soul won't get there first
|
If I should die before I make it back home
|
Now we take ourselves to drink
|
Our minds and bodies too tired to think
|
If we should die before I make it back home
|
Please carry me home
|
|
Late at night as I lay in my bed
|
With the factory's lights dancing over my head
|
They light this whole damn town,
|
They light this whole damn place
|
Even when we sleep do we fall from grace?
