Kinks - Working At The Factory Lyrics
All my life I've been a workin' manWhen I was at school they said that's all you'll ever understandNo profession. I didn't figure in their plansSo they sent me down factory to be a workin' manAll I lived for, All I lived forAll I lived for was to get out of the factoryNow I'm here seemingly free, but working at the factory.The music came along and gave new life to meAnd gave me hope back in 1983The music came and set me freeFrom working at the factoryAll I lived for, All I lived forAll I lived for was to get out of the factoryAll I lived for, All I lived forAll I lived for was to get out of the factoryNever wanted to be like everybody elseBut now there are so many like me sitting on the shelfThey sold us a dream but in realityIt was just another factoryI made the music , thought that was mineIt made me free , but that was in another timeBut then the corporations and the big combinesTurned musicians into factory workers on assembly lines.All I lived for, All I lived forAll I lived for was to get out of the factoryWe made the music to set ourselves freeFrom working at the factory.All my life I've put in a working dayNow it's sign the contract. Get production on the wayTake the money, make the music payWorking at the factoryAll I lived for was to get out of the factory.Never wanted to be like everybody elseBut now there are so many like me sitting on the shelfThey sold us a dream but in realityWas just another factoryWorking at the factory.
