Factory bells

6 AM, mouth tastes like rust and stale tobacco
The cold shop floor is where the shadows go
The foreman screams with his hands soft and clean
I tighten the bolt, part of the machine
No glory here, kid, just grease and sweat
The weak break down, but we ain't done yet
You gotta bare your teeth and take the hit
When the steel gets hot and you're in the pit!


They pay us pennies, they want us still
But we forged our anger in the fire and the mill!

Припев
THE FACTORY BELL!
Pounding my head like a hammer from hell!
THE FACTORY BELL!
Locked inside of this concrete cell!
We are the cogs that will strip the thread
We drink to the brotherhood before we're dead!
Oi! Oi! Oi!


Suits in the office, they look away
They'll never know the price that we pay
My boots are muddy but my conscience is clear
While their life is fake, nothing is real here
We hit the streets when the sun goes down
Freedom tastes like the best beer in town
Shoulder to shoulder, the skins and the punks
Until this whole system turns into chunks!


Ding-dong... Ding-dong...
Do you hear that funeral song?
It rings for their greed and their lies.
Hey brother, open your eyes!
SHOW ME YOUR FIST!

Припев
THE FACTORY BELL!
Pounding my head like a hammer from hell!
THE FACTORY BELL!
Locked inside of this concrete cell!
We are the cogs that will strip the thread
We drink to the brotherhood before we're dead!


No compromise!
Only steel!
Only hardcore!
Shift is over.
