Factory lyrics

Written by John Mellencamp

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

Well I`m up every morning by 6:08
Take the Voltswagon bus up the interstate
Feel Charlie Manson just like ...
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 ... 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 factoy
Gonna get me some of them luxuries
Well now me and the boys
Machines are making noise
Working at the factory (moola)

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 ... rocket, hum, 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 tomarrow at the very same time

(*Repeat Chorus 2 times)
