This song by Bruce is one of my favorites, not so much for the music but for the lyrics: only those who work or have worked in a factory understand that it’s a song written with heart:
FACTORY
Early in the morning, the factory siren whistles
The man gets out of bed and gets dressed
The man grabs his lunch, steps out into the morning light
It’s life, the life of those who work, nothing but the life of those who work
Through castles of fear, through castles of pain
I see my father entering the factory gates in the rain
The factory has taken his hearing, the factory gives him a living
It’s the life of those who work, nothing but the life of those who work
End of the day, the factory siren screams
The men come out of the gates with death in their eyes
And you’d better believe it, boy
Someone’s gonna get hurt tonight
It’s the life of those who work, the life of those who work, nothing but the life of those who work
Bruce Springsteen Factory 1978
