Working At The Factory Lyrics - Kinks

All my life, I've been a workin' man 

When I was at school they said that's all you'll ever understand 

No profession, I didn't figure in their plans 

So they sent me down the factory to be a workin' man 

All I lived for, all I lived for 

All I lived for was to get out of the factory 

Now I'm here seemingly free, but working at the factory 

Then music came along and gave new life to me 

And gave me hope back in 1963 

The music came and set me free 

From working at the factory 

All I lived for, all I lived for 

Was to get out of the factory 

All I lived for, all I lived for 

Was to get out of the factory

NEW SONG: ASHLEY O (Miley Cyrus) - On A Roll​ - LYRICS 

Never wanted to be like everybody else 

But now there are so many like me sitting on the shelf 

They sold us a dream but in reality 

It was just another factory 

I made the music, thought that it was mine 

It made me free, but that was in another time 

But then the corporations and the big combines 

Turned musicians into factory workers on assembly lines 

All we live for, all we live for 

All we live for is to get out of the factory 

We made the music to set ourselves free 

From working at the factory 

All my life I've put in a working day 

Now it's sign the contract, get production on the way 

Take the money, make the music pay 

Working at the factory 

All I lived for was to get out of the factory

Never wanted to be like everybody else 

But now there are so many like me sitting on the shelf 

They sold us a dream that in reality 

Was just another factory
