All my life I've been a workin' man
|
When I was at school they said that's all you'll ever understand
|
No profession. I didn't figure in their plans
|
So they sent me down factory to be a workin' man
|
|
All I lived for, All I lived for
|
All I lived for was to get out of the factory
|
Now I'm here seemingly free, but working at the factory.
|
|
The music came along and gave new life to me
|
And gave me hope back in 1963
|
The music came and set me free
|
From working at the factory
|
|
All I lived for, All I lived for
|
was to get out of the factory
|
All I lived for, All I lived for
|
was to get out of the factory
|
|
Never wanted to be like everybody else
|
But now there are so many like me sitting on the shelf
|
They sold us a dream but in reality
|
It was just another factory
|
I made the music , thought that was mine
|
It made me free , but that was in another time
|
But then the corporations and the big combines
|
Turned musicians into factory workers on assembly lines.
|
|
All I lived for, All I lived for
|
All I lived for was to get out of the factory
|
We made the music to set ourselves free
|
From working at the factory.
|
|
All my life I've put in a working day
|
Now it's sign the contract. Get production on the way
|
|
Take the money, make the music pay
|
Working at the factory
|
All I lived for was to get out of the factory.
|
|
Never wanted to be like everybody else
|
But now there are so many like me sitting on the shelf
|
They sold us a dream but in reality
|
Was just another factory
|
|
Working at the factory.
