Seven Nations - The Factory Song lyrics

The Factory Song

(Words and music by Kirk McLeod)

I wonder how I wonder why

Without this factory could we ever survive

I wonder who I wonder where

Are faring better than those around here

I left my home and I said my goodbyes

I traveled safely though some met their demise

I work all day I work into the night

I've joined the union and I'm all right

Now I lay me down to work

I pray my soul won't get there first

If I should die before I make it back home

Please carry me home

I share this cellar with five of my friends

When the big bell rings our day's at an end

We clear our throats from the dusty air

The machinery's din we always hear

Now I lay me down to work

I pray my soul won't get there first

If I should die before I make it back home

Now we take ourselves to drink

Our minds and bodies too tired to think

If we should die before I make it back home

Please carry me home

Late at night as I lay in my bed

With the factory's lights dancing over my head

They light this whole damn town,

They light this whole damn place

Even when we sleep do we fall from grace?
