Working At The Factory

[Verse 1]
A                 E
All my life, I've been a workin' man
G                                     D
When I was at school they said that's all you'll ever understand
A                       E
No profession, I didn't figure in their plans
        G                           D
So they sent me down the factory to be a workin' man
A                E
All I lived for, all I lived for
G                      D
All I lived for was to get out of the factory
A            E                   G              D     A
Now I'm here seemingly free, but working at the factory
F                         C
Then music came along and gave new life to me
    F                    C
And gave me hope back in 1963
    A              E
The music came and set me free
     G              D     A
From working at the factory


[Chorus]
A                D
All I lived for, all I lived for
B         E
   Was to get out of the factory
A                D
All I lived for, all I lived for
B         E
   Was to get out of the factory
F                       C
Never wanted to be like everybody else
    F                             C
But now there are so many like me sitting on the shelf
     A                   E
They sold us a dream but in reality
       G            D     A
It was just another factory


[Verse 2]
A                 E
I made the music, thought that it was mine
G                             D
It made me free, but that was in another time
A                         E
But then the corporations and the big combines
       G                              D
Turned musicians into factory workers on assembly lines
A                E
All we live for, all we live for
G                     D
All we live for is to get out of the factory
A                    E
We made the music to set ourselves free
     G              D     A
From working at the factory
F                    C
All my life I've put in a working day
F                                  C
Now it's sign the contract, get production on the way
A               E
Take the money, make the music pay
G              D     A
Working at the factory

    All I lived for
B         E
   was to get out of the factory

F                       C
Never wanted to be like everybody else
F                                 C
But now there are so many like me sitting on the shelf
A                         E
They sold us a dream that in reality
    G            D     A
Was just another factory
