about

Factories in Heaven is about working yourself to death only to hope you can finally enjoy the fruits of your labors in your final days. Someone promise me there are no more factories in heaven!

lyrics

No one ever dreams of factories in Heaven
They were never in my fantasies when I was small
Grinding out a life for a taste of independence
With my head up in the clouds and my back against the wall
And when I can't work can I be certain
Someone's got my broken back and broken dreams of...

No more factories in heaven
No more hand to mouth for me
No more factories in heaven
When that final whistle blows I will be free
I will be free

If there's a God above then he's got a lot to pay for
Someone's got to answer for this mess down here
Working all your life so your family can stay poor
With the promise of a sunset in your golden years
And when I can't work can I be certain
Someone's got my broken back and broken dreams of...

No more factories in heaven
No wage slavery for me
No more factories in heaven
When that final whistle blows I will be free

I look around and I see all of us are suffering
We spend our whole lives just being kicked around
Then I open up and look at twenty matches in a book
That can help me bring it all to the ground

And when I can't work can I be certain
All my sweat was really worth it
Was there ever any purpose
Someone promise me there's...

No more factories in heaven
No more hand to mouth for me
No more factories in heaven
When that final whistle blows I will be free
I will be free
