Jackson Cannery Lyrics



Stop the bus!

I wanna be lonely

When seconds pass slowly

and years go flying by.

You gotta stop the bus, 

I'll get off here.

Enough's enough

And I'm leaving this factory



All she wants

Is food in the table

and I won't be able

to bring it home

No I won't, come one

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 (Millionaires)

and mill rats 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 four in the morning

Mother don't know that I'm going far away

She's whispering to the moon

I hope he don't join you soon



Baby boss

Climbs up from his soapbox

But great Caesar's ghost

Knows what's best for me



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

But big brother got the keys

and I got Jackson Cannery
