[A] 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, GARLIC!
[Am]
[A]
Down in the village where [F] most residents were [C] poor
An old man had a factory [E] that folks called the killing floor
[Am] He [A] was a surly master, [F] though his workers all had [C] wives
He'd work them within inches [E] of their lives
[F] They were all sick and tired [A] of this stuff
Hike, hike, hike, [F] hike
Old men decided that they'd [E] had enough
[A] We won't take this anymore
Not gonna die on the killing floor
He won't work us into the ground
[F] It's time to [C#m] strike up action [Am] Ruining town
[A]
They waited for the old [F] man to head home for the [C] night
They muscled in with [E] kerosene and lanterns to ignite
[Am] They took [A] one final look at [F] all these monstrous [C] machines
Then lit them at that wood for [E] build their dreams
[F] It was a blazing jubilee
[A] Hike, hike, hike, [F] hike
They built these places that these [E] workers dreamed
[B] We won't take this anymore
[A] Not gonna die on the killing floor
He won't work us into the ground
[F] It's time to [E] strike up action
Burn [A] it down
As the workers danced around [F] the fire having fun
[C] The old man pulled up terrified [Em] and screamed, what [B] have you done?
[A] This factory was the only thing [F] that kept us all alive
[C] Now you've gone and blown us all [E] sky high
[F] The factory worked above and [A] oiled the lakes
Hike, hike, [F] hike, hike
But all too late they realized [E] their mistake
We won't take it anymore
[A] Didn't wanna die on the killing floor
But we drove ourselves to the ground
[F] When we struck that match
And [A] burned it down
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la [Am] la
[Dm] Why'd we have to go and [A] burn it down?
[A#] [N]
