16 and time to pay off I get this job in a piss factory inspecting
pipe 40 hours, 36 dollars a week but it's a paycheck
jack So [D] hot in here, hot [Em] like Sahara
You can fade [D] from the heat but [Em] these bitches are just too lame to [Am] understand
[Bm] Too goddamn grateful to get [Em] this job to know they're getting screwed up, [Am] yes
[Bm] All these [C] women they got [Bm] no [Em] teeth, no [D] gum or [Em] cream
[E] And the way [Am] they suck [Bm] hot sausage [C] but me, well [Bm] I wasn't saying [Em] too much neither
I was moral school [Am] girl, [Bm] hard [C] working [D] asshole [Em] I figured I was speedo motorcycle, had to
earn my dough Had to earn my dough
But no you gotta, [F#] you gotta relate, right?
[C] You gotta [Bm] find the [Am] rhythm [Bm] within
[Em] Floor boss [D] slides up to me and he says, [Em] hey sister, you just moving too fast
You screwing up the quota, you doing your [A] piece work too fast
Now [Em] you get off your Mustang [A] Sally, you ain't [Em] going nowhere, [A] you ain't going [Em] nowhere
I lay back, [A] I [Em] get my nerve up, I take a sweet [Am] Romalar
And [D] I walk up [C] to hot [Em] shit, I hook and I say, hey, [Am] hey sister
[Bm] It don't matter whether I do [Em] labor fast or slow, there's [Am] always [Bm] more labor after
She's real Catholic, [Em] see, she fingers her [Am] cross and she says, there [Bm] is one [Bm] reason
There is one [Em] reason, you do it [D] my way or I push [C] you up facing
[Bm] We need you in the John [Em] if you don't get off your Mustang Sally
[C] If you [G] don't shape [Am] it up, [Bm] baby, [Em] shake it up, baby
Twist and shout, [A] oh what I could [Em] with a radio [A] here
James [G] Brown singing I [A] love a song
[Em] All the [A] jesters and the [Em] paragons in Georgia woods
The [A] guy with the goods and guided [Em] missiles
But now I got [A] nothing, no diversion, no window
[Em] Nothing here but a [Am] porthole in [D] the plaster, [C] in [Bm] the [Em] plaster
Where I look down, look down at [Am] sweet [Bm] Teresa's [C] convent
[D] All those [Em] nurses, all those nuns, scatting around with [Am] their bloom [Bm] hoods [Bm] like cats in [Em] mourning
Oh to me, they, you know, to me, they look pretty [Am] damn [Bm] free down [Em] there
Down there, not having to press those [E] smooth, not having to [C] smooth those hands again, [D] it's high steel
[Em] Not having to worry about the end speed, the dogma, the end speed [D] of labor
[Am] Oh they look [Em] pretty damn free down there
The [D] way they smell, [Em] the way they smell, [A] you know I'd rather be up [Em] here
Smelling [A] die hooks, [Em] midwife sweat
[A] I would [Em] rather smell the way [A] boys [Em] smell
All those [A] schoolboys, [Em] lay their legs [A] flat under the desk [Em] in the study hall
That odor [Am] rising, [Bm] roses [C] and [Bm] ammonia
And the way [Em] their dicks droop like [Am] lilacs
[Bm] Oh the way they smell, that's a bit [Em] inaccurate smell
But no, I got a, I got [Am] a pump, [Bm] flammy [C] lady in my [Bm] nostril
[Em] Her against the wheel, me against [Am] the wheel
[D] Oh the [C] end speed, oh, [Em] slow motion inspection is driving [C] me insane
[Bm] In the steel, [Em] next to die hook
[F#] Oh we may look the [C] same, shoulder to [Bm] shoulder
[Em] Sweating, 110 [F#] degrees, but I will never [Em] faint, I will never [A] faint
They laugh [E] and they expect me to faint, but [F#] I will never faint
[Em] I refuse to lose, I [A] refuse to fall [Em] down
Because you see [A] it's the monotony that's [Em] got to me
Every [A] afternoon like the last [Em] one, [A] every afternoon [Em] like a [A] rerun
[Em] Next to die hook, yeah we look the [Am] same
[Bm] Both pumping steel, both [Em] sweating
But you know she got nothing to hide
[Am] And I got [Bm] something to hide here called desire
[Em] I got something to hide here called desire
[Am] And I [Bm] will [C] get out of [Bm] here
[Em] You know the spirit potion is [Am] just about to [Bm] come
[C] In my nose is [Em] the taste of sugar
And I got nothing to hide [Am] here safe [Bm] desire
And I'm gonna go, [Em] I'm gonna get out of here
I'm gonna get out of here, [Am] I'm gonna get on [Bm] that train
And I'm gonna get on [Em] that train and go to New York City
And I'm gonna be [C] somebody
I'm gonna [Bm] get on that [Em] train and go to New York City
And I'm gonna be [C] so big
[Bm] I'm gonna be a big star [Em] and I will never return
Never return, no never [A] return to burn
[Em] Out in [A] this, [Em] [A] this [Em] factory
Never traveling [Am] home
[Bm] Watch me now
[Em] [Am] [Bm] [Em] [Am]
