The Factory Gates Songtext

von Kaiser Chiefs

So this is the age of the train
All apart through the labour exchange
My mind is running away whoah no
I'm a shop on a sales campaign
Trapped behind yellow cellophane
My mind is running away whoah

Everything I ever loved
Comes knocking at my head
What you thought was way too much
Is not enough

They tell you day after day
To make your way through the factory gates
What you make at the factory floor
You take straight to the company store
They tell you day after day
To make your way through the factory gates
'Till they can't break your will anymore
You are contractualy tied to their store

I never left the town I was made in
With this world I'm Michael Palin
My mind is running away whoah no
I record every one of my failings
I tie your bread bags onto the railings
My mind is running away whoah

Everything you've ever loved
Comes knocking at your door
What you thought was way too much
Is not enough

They tell you day after day
To make your way through the factory gates
What you make at the factory floor
You take straight to the company store
They tell you day after day
To make your way through the factory gates
'Till they can't break your will anymore
You are contractualy tied to their store

Not enought
Not enought
I want wider than this island
Not enought
Not enough
I want brighter than a diamond

But everything you've ever known
Is in this city walls
What you thought was way too much
Is not enough
It's not enought
When you thought it's way too much
It's not enough

They tell you day after day
To make your way through the factory gates
What you make on the factory floor
You take straight to the company store
They tell you day after day
To make your way through the factory gates
'Till they can't break your will anymore
You are contractualy tied to their store
'Till they can't break your will anymore
You are contractualy tied to their store
