Factory Man

Another cup of coffee another cigarette
Another fight with your woman that you're trying to forget...
All right...all right...now...
And your daughter needs braces
The baby needs shoes
The house needs everything but that ain't news
All right...all right...now...
It's just another day in paradise
Ain't like you planned
But you roll with the punches
'Cause you're a factory man...
And your grandpa built buildings
Your daddy built the roads
Your uncle spent his whole damn life building Fords...
All right...all right...now...
And you could have gone to college
'Cause it ain't like you're dumb
But straight out of school thought you'd get yourself some...
All right...all right...now...
It's just another day in paradise
Ain't like you planned
But you roll with the punches
'Cause you're a factory man...yeah...
And what about the dreams you had
You haven't thought about 'em in years
Now ain't that just a little sad
What the hell, can I have another beer...
Oh, it's just another day in paradise
Ain't like you planned
But you roll with the punches
'Cause you're a factory man...
Ya said hey Mr. Union Man get me off the line
Or at least get off your ass get me some overtime
All right...all right...now...
'Cause there's a three-headed monster that never seems to rest...
Credit cards, mortgage man, IRS
All right...all right...now...
It's just another day in paradise
Ain't like you planned
But you roll with the punches
'Cause you're a factory man...
It's just another day
It's just another day in paradise
Ain't like you planned
But you roll with the punches
'Cause you're a factory man...
You're a factory man...
Always been a factory man...
Ah a factory man...
It's just another day
Ah factory man...
Ooh, factory man...
Hey a factory man...
Ooh...
Always be a factory man...
