Lyrics Electric Six

Electric Six

I Belong in a Factory

Life in 360 degrees

I'm just one of the busy bees

Buzzing in time to the one two threes

Doing heavy lifting that destroyed my knees

Kids today they never say please

But todays angry youth ain't angry enough for me

I'm being all I can be on a working mans 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 as the factory con-

Sumed 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 beard

It's a wonder that both ends always meet

But we separate the chaff from the wheat

Todays middle class is just so bourgeoisie

And I'm picking up my disease

On my working mans salary

I belong in a factory

Maybe one day I'll get my foreman to see

That productivity is going up in the factory be-

Cause 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 mans 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 the factory

Like me

Let's hear it for the factory

The only thing that understood me truly

Made a factory man out of me

Three cheers for the factory

Go factory
