Shadow of the factory

from The Best of by luke hurley

/

lyrics

“I worked for years in your factory
You say there’s no more work for me
For what its worth I’d work for free
For what its worth in your plastic money
You phase me out
You phase me out

I live in fear
Cold as ice
Just as clear
That you only be so strong
While the power is on
When that big fuse blows

Gonna have to go
Digital watch don’t tick or tock
This is the age of the civilised robot
Profit for the big think man
Do you fit that big think plan?”

When the big fuse blows
Gonna have to go
Gonna have to go

“Pretty soon you gonna say
I can work while you play
Hey Louie be my caddie today
36 holes and I clearly see
36 holes in the shadow
Of the factory”
