Factory Songtext
von John Mellencamp

Be yourself, boys
Let′s get this show on the road

Well I'm up every morning by 6:08
Take the Volkswagon bus up the interstate
Feel Charlie Manson just like touching ham
I′m diggin' real hard for some money to spend
Well it ain't that bad if the summer′s free
I got my evenings cool to cruise the scene, oh yeah

I got a pretty old lady
Who rolls back in the morning
She don′t pressure me about my over time
Got a kickin' black chick
Who meets me in the alley
Sayin′ unsnap your jeans, baby
I'll take what I find
I got non-stop shootem up, on a layaway plan
I′ve got a workman's compensation, I′m a union man


Working at the factory
Gonna get me some of them luxuries
Well now me and the boys
Machines are making noise
Working at the factory
It works like this

I got one eye on the time clock
I got my other eye on the girl in the hall
I got this new rocket, uh, stuck right here in my pocket
Waitin' for the five o'clock whistle to call
I′m the whistle dancer of the production line
I got an encour tomorrow at the very same time

Working at the factory
Gonna get me some of them luxuries
Well now me and the boys
Machines are making noise
Working at the factory

Working at the factory
Gonna get me some of them luxuries
Well now me and the boys
Machines are making noise
Working at the factory
