Jackson Cannery Lyrics - Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds

Stop the bus 

I want to be lonely 

When seconds pass slowly 

And years go flying by 

You gotta stop the bus 

We get off here 

Enough's enough 

And I'm leaving this factory 

All she wants is food on the table 

And I won't be able to bring it home 

And all I want, come on, 

Is all I need, yeh is free 

Cause I'm a factory 

Did Mother Nature tell you 

Boy you come and go as you please 

That's what she said to me 

But big brother got the keys 

And I got Jackson Cannery 

Millionaires and mill rats live side by side here 

Messed up my brother's mind 

He's far from earth 

Tell me what's he worth 

The same as you 

The same as me 

In this factory 

Did Mother Nature tell you 

Boy you come and go as you please? 

That's what she said to me 

But big brother got the keys 

And I got Jackson Cannery 

It's four in the morning 

Mother don't know 

That I'm going far away 

She's whispering to the moon 

I hope he don't join you soon 

Baby boss 

Climbs up from his soapbox 

Great Caesar's ghost 

Knows what's best for me 

He says stop the bus 

Did Mother Nature tell you 

Boy you come and go as you please 

That's what she said to me 

Big brother got the keys 

And I got Jackson Cannery 

Big brother got the keys 

And I got Jackson Cannery 

Big brother got the keys 

And I got Jackson Cannery
