Another cup of coffee another cigarette Another fight with your woman that you're trying to forget... All right...all right...now... And your daughter needs braces The baby needs shoes The house needs everything but that ain't news All right...all right...now... It's just another day in paradise Ain't like you planned But you roll with the punches 'Cause you're a factory man... And your grandpa built buildings Your daddy built the roads Your uncle spent his whole damn life building Fords... All right...all right...now... And you could have gone to college 'Cause it ain't like you're dumb But straight out of school thought you'd get yourself some... All right...all right...now... It's just another day in paradise Ain't like you planned But you roll with the punches 'Cause you're a factory man...yeah... And what about the dreams you had You haven't thought about 'em in years Now ain't that just a little sad What the hell, can I have another beer... Oh, it's just another day in paradise Ain't like you planned But you roll with the punches 'Cause you're a factory man... Ya said hey Mr. Union Man get me off the line Or at least get off your ass get me some overtime All right...all right...now... 'Cause there's a three-headed monster that never seems to rest... Credit cards, mortgage man, IRS All right...all right...now... It's just another day in paradise Ain't like you planned But you roll with the punches 'Cause you're a factory man... It's just another day It's just another day in paradise Ain't like you planned But you roll with the punches 'Cause you're a factory man... You're a factory man... Always been a factory man... Ah a factory man... It's just another day Ah factory man... Ooh, factory man... Hey a factory man... Ooh... Always be a factory man...
