Factory Man
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b334/antipodi/factory.jpg
For twenty years he worked so hard
The factory promised him a job for life
Nearly broke his back the hours he worked
and the comradeship and loyalty of all his friends
Huge profits in good times they helped get
Every smiles and shakes hands with the Boss
A world recession is announced on the stock exchange
shareholders demand profits and could not care less
Today they announced the factory closing down
Going cheaper Offshore for profits to keep
Betrayed all the workers for their jobs would go
who cares for the families and workers left dry
all they can do is ask just why
thousands of companies are deserting their loyal workers everywhere
Company executives and shareholders lining their pockets still
Whilst the workers suffer on the lengthening dole Que
But governments just shrug their shoulders without answers
The countries are falling apart for the sake of a few profit margins
1000's out of work and 1000's more families affected
These same companies expect to sell their wares still locally
whilst going OFFSHORE to fill their pockets will ill gotten gold
Awe come on we are being conned and condemned
Broken families now in poverty and distress
and stupid governments continue to ignore the terrible mess
He just doest know anymore after all he's just a factory working man
He has nothing left to continue his life plan..nobody cares
