Factory by Stan Ridgway

Factory Lyrics

edit | print 
Now, I know I had somethin to say
But the problem is, to say somethin
Uh, youve got to say it
And I still dont remember a thing
Since the funny gas come out of that pipe next to me
I guess they didnt okay it
Now I rememberccdid I tell ya? cccut my thumb off
At the knuckle on a broken band saw
Didnt see the belt buckle or the blade slip
And I remember when the doctor did it up with a stitch
Funny thingccstill got a scratch that I cant itch
Where my thumb was

Well, Ive brought the same piece of chicken in a bag
To work every day for the last twenty years or so
And I really dont mind, work assembly line
Got an intercom blastin the news and the latest on the baseball scores
Come around every friday, well, I get a paycheck
Take the same road home that I come to work onccheck
Its a living

Chorus:
And Ive got another factory back home
Ive got a barbecue, pink mustang, fenders chrome
And at nine oclock I sit there in my chair
And I dont know why I lose my hair
And then I go to...
And then I go to...
And then I go to sleep


Well, I like to know what Im doin when I do it
And I do what Im doin cause I dont know what to do
When Im not doin it
Sometimes I remember as a boy my father told me
I could grow up to be anything I wanted
Anything
And every day at lunch I still look for my lost
Digitccstill got that funny scratch
So maybe when I find it I can itch it
And I got a little rubber pool in the backyard
For the kids to wade in
And i? i? i... i, i, i.

Chorus:
Ive got another factory back home
I got a little backyard, pink mustang, fenders chrome
At nine oclock Im in my chair sat down
Just lately, when my wife talks back to me I slap er around
And then I go to...
And then I go to...
And then I go to sleep


Whoah-oh-oh-oh! until fade
