Assembly Line Lyrics

Punched in just about five
Ratchet in my left and a flat-head in my right
Hoping that I'll hear about a raise by the end of the week
Just a hundred and thirty-two steps
Making machines out a steel and sweat
Over and over again like a record that's on repeat
Chorus:
And it's all manufactured time
When you're on the assembly line
Building products made to sell
Moving on a conveyer belt
And it's a job for a diligent heart
And I'm just one of a thousand parts
You might think I've got it rough but I don't mind Working on the assembly line
All day in steel-toed boots
Vacation days that I'll never use
There's a rumor going 'round that's got nothing to do with me
Charlie swears he's gonna quit
Put his two weeks in and that's it
He's been talkin' that way since the summer of '93
Repeat Chorus Twice
It ain't a job for everyone but it's mine
Working on the assembly line
On the assembly line
Clocked out about 5 p.m.
Wake up in the morning, do it all again
