Factory Whistle's Blowing

 

Factory Whistle's Blowing

(album: One Million Lawyers And Other Disasters - 1985)


Factory whistle's blowing
Other side of town
Everybody's knowing
Factory's closing down
They can make 'em cheaper, over in Japan
That's the way it goes now, everybody knows
They don't need the working man
They can take their money, move it anywhere
Here today and gone, they can set up in Taiwan
Or the moon for all they care
Leaving us a factory, all it grows is weeds
Leaving us the families, they're the same as ever
Hungry mouths to feed
Factory whistle's blowing
Other side of town
Everybody's knowing
Factory's closing down
They can make 'em cheaper over in Japan
That's the way it goes
Now everybody knows
They don't need the working man
Daddy joined the union; nineteen thirty-three
He took it on the head but I remember that he said
That there is strength in unity
Now we stand together, paying slips without pay
Stunned at turning over, factory days are over
Company's gone away
Factory whistle's blowing
Other side of town
Everybody's knowing
Factory's closing down
They can make 'em cheaper over in Japan
That's the way it goes now
Everybody knows
They don't need the working man
The president is smiling, 'bout his free economy
But the furnaces are out, and there's very little doubt
That it ain't very free for me
The president is smiling, says we're doing fine
Sure we're doing swell, we're productive as all hell
On the unemployment line
Factory whistle's blowing
Other side of town
Everybody's knowing
Factory's closing down
They can make 'em cheaper over in Japan
That's the way it goes now, everybody knows
They don't need the working man
That's the way it goes now, everybody knows
They don't need the working man
Factory whistle's blowing
