Ben Folds Five - Jackson Cannery lyrics

Stop the bus

I wanna be lonely

When seconds pass slowly

And years go flying by

You gotta stop the bus

I'll get off here

Enough's enough

I'm leaving this factory

All she wants

Is food on the table

I won't be able

To bring it home

All she wants, come on,

All I need is free

Cause I'm a factory

Did Mother Nature tell you

Boy you come and go as you please

That's what she said to me

Big brother got the keys

And I got Jackson Cannery

Millionaires and mill rats live side by side

Messed up my brother's mind

He's far from earth

Tell me, What's he worth?

The same as you

The same as me

In this factory

It's 4 in the morning

Mother don't know

That I'm going far away

She's whispering to the moon

I hope he don't join you soon

Baby boss

Climbs up on his soapbox

But Great Caesar's ghost

Knows what's best for me

He says stop the bus
