Everyone you ever loved Comes knocking down your door And what you thought was way too much is not enough
They tell you day after day To make your way through the factory gates What you make on the factory floor You take straight to the company store They tell you day after day To make your way through the factory gates 'Til they can't break your will anymore You are contractually tied to death's door

They tell you day after day To make your way through the factory gates What you make on the factory floor You take straight to the company store They tell you day after day To make your way through the factory gates 'Til they can't break your will anymore You are contractually tied to death's door
