Jackson Cannery
Stop the bus, I wanna be lonely
When seconds pass slowly and years go flying by
You gotta stop the bus, I get off here
Enough's enough
And I'm leaving this factory
All she wants is food on the table
And I won't be able to bring it home
No I won't, come on
'Cause all I need, yeah, is free
'Cause I'm a factory
Did Mother Nature tell you
"Boy, you come and go as you please"?
That's what she said to me
But big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Millionaires and millrats live side by side
Messed up my brother's mind, he's far from Earth
Tell me, what's he worth?
The same as you, the same as me in this factory
Did Mother Nature tell you
"Boy, you come and go as you please"?
That's what she said to me
But big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
It's 4 in the morning
Mother don't know that I'm going far away
She's whispering to the Moon
I hope you don't join you soon
Baby boss climbs up from his soapbox
Great Caesar's ghost knows what's best for me
Stop the bus!
Did Mother Nature tell you
"Boy, you come and go as you please"?
That's what she said to me
But big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
But big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
Big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
When seconds pass slowly and years go flying by
You gotta stop the bus, I get off here
Enough's enough
And I'm leaving this factory
All she wants is food on the table
And I won't be able to bring it home
No I won't, come on
'Cause all I need, yeah, is free
'Cause I'm a factory
Did Mother Nature tell you
"Boy, you come and go as you please"?
That's what she said to me
But big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Millionaires and millrats live side by side
Messed up my brother's mind, he's far from Earth
Tell me, what's he worth?
The same as you, the same as me in this factory
Did Mother Nature tell you
"Boy, you come and go as you please"?
That's what she said to me
But big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
It's 4 in the morning
Mother don't know that I'm going far away
She's whispering to the Moon
I hope you don't join you soon
Baby boss climbs up from his soapbox
Great Caesar's ghost knows what's best for me
Stop the bus!
Did Mother Nature tell you
"Boy, you come and go as you please"?
That's what she said to me
But big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
But big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
Big brother got the keys and I got Jackson Cannery
