Lyrics:
Old steel factory casting shadows
What it meant to me no one could know
Kept him away from me and I was grateful
And to the bar across the street
the quarry closed, he had to seek other employment
While working at a steel factory, he was involved in an accident
His job was to roll angle iron onto
charts and plans
Lathe machine the motor ring
Rough planing the suspension
Gears and wheels cut from steel
Industrial factory sealed
Assembly line
There's no steel on the factory line
No crops in the field
No singing on a stage
Yeah, we know how you feel
There's a thousand empty classrooms
preservation
Concrete coffin breeds lunacy
Cold steel skeleton
Desperation in the factory
Crank out oblivion
Material world paranoia
Corporations rule
We're in the mills and factories
We make the steel, we cut the trees
A thousand yards stare as a glass
But we will see you when you pass
We lost our
in a factory
Cold steel machineries
And driven by this greed, your're breeding the disease
Infected by this deadness, your're breeding the disease
to melt the snow
Rising from the fiddle bow
Chorus...
In the milling of the factory steel
In the clicking of the spinning wheel
In all those
They all felt good
In their neighbourhood
People smiling
Because they could
Children playing
Cowboys and crooks
The steel factory
Operate as it
his wedding ring
Steel town dear
The factories are waiting
For a goodnight and good-bye
Into the camera eye
Can't cry with the light
In the heart of Uzwil, where the iron giants rise
Stands a monument of might, beneath the open skies
A sentinel of steel, where the factory lines
this modern world, it's a tale too real,
Lost my livelihood to a robot's cold steel.
Worked those factory lines, with sweat on my brow,
But now those
Warm lights
Cold steel
Paradise made in a factory
TV shows go on endlessly
Human nature is a mystery
Where I go
I don't know
While I’m resting on my
people at the bottom of the hill like our father was a lord
Master of the steel and iron factory a-glowing on an isthmus in the fjord
Their children beat
paved with stone
I'd swap the scent of open ocean
There for the factory steel and the engineers
Well I'm coming back to something beautiful
All
Gleaming steel and bullets cast
In factories
Where fortunes are amassed
Contracts signed
In blood and paid with gold
An endless cycle of conflict
Relentless,
Metal gears grinding circuits whirring loud
In this factory of steel chaos all around
Within this robotic frame something's going wrong
A glitch in
the factories rise
Steam and steel paint the canvas of our lives
Canvas of our lives
Canvas of our lives
They used to be our lives
They used to be our lives
In a Shanghai noodle factory
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of steel
Tiny cogs in one big wheel
There's a place out on the edge of town, sir
Rising above the factories and the fields
Now ever since I was a child I can remember
That mansion
air
Metal, and ice
Glorious toys
What a display of power
Those who yield it
Don't deserve the hour
Factory bot
Stamps a steel arrow
Journey begins
Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I heard
Girl in a mask outside the tank factory, riveted steel rolling off the production floor. He loads the missile bay, she works in the animal labs
Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I heard
