Factory Day Lyrics - Down By Law

The working man is in my head now 

cause in this world we're all together 

trapped in a world he never made 

it's a steel and concrete place - that lasts forever 

and no one smiles - it's the working class 

who's got time for sympathy? 

he sees reality, it makes him close his eyes 

wakes up in the morning and he feels cold 

makes the commute to a faraway place 

but in his head he's even further away 

and no one smiles - it's the working class 

who's got time for courtesy? 

for every working man who earns a working wage 

who's gonna set us free? 

the working man is in my head 

in this world we're all together 

remembering a girl he loved 

now he knows she's gone for good 

for him everyday is just a cycle 

gets home at night, turns on the color t.v. 

staring at programs set in faraway lands 

but the gray world outside his window is all he can see 

and no one smiles - it's the working class 

who's got time for courtesy? 

for every working man who earns a working wage 

who's gonna set us free? 

well if you've got a scream inside you better shout it before the real world takes your breath away 

ideals die fast now if you let them 

but where's the future in another factory day? 

it's easy to say it 

it's harder to live it 

but look around and choose 

remember he's like you
