[Verse 1]
Em
Slack your rope coil it around,
Bm Em
This here town's just like a hanging ground,
C C
It's factory,
Dsus2 Dsus2
Gas station,
Em Em
Or join.
Em Em
It's a chain link prison with a tangling wire,
Em Em
And you gonna get cut 'cause you can't climb any higher,
C C
Factory,
Dsus2 Dsus2
Gas station,
Em Em
Or join,
[Chorus]
G
Oh but I got dreams of a different plan,
D
Crossing the river to the promised land,
C
I wanna go down in flames with my sweet Janie,
D
Try to get the hell out of Allegheny,
G
With a hand on the bottle and one on the wheel,
D
I won't be a slave to the iron and steel,
C
Damned whichever way I'm going,
D
My fate on the flip of a coin,
C C
It's factory,
Dsus2 Dsus2
Gas station,
Em Em
Or join.
[Verse 2]
Em Em
Whole county wide is a cut speed trap,
Em Em
It's a half inch of water and a Quikrete sack,
C C
Factory,
Dsus2 Dsus2
Gas station,
Em Em
Or join,
Em Em
Got your back in the corner feel the urge to kill,
Em Em
When the light in the tunnel looks like a little white pill,
C C
Factory,
Dsus2 Dsus2
Gas station,
Em Em
Or join.
[Chorus]
G
Oh but I got dreams of a different plan,
D
Crossing the river to the promised land,
C
I wanna go down in flames with my sweet Janie,
D
Try to get the hell out of Allegheny,
G
With a hand on the bottle and one on the wheel,
D
I won't be a slave to the iron and steel,
C
Damned whichever way I'm going,
D Bm
My fate on the flip of a coin,
C C
It's factory,
Dsus2 Dsus2
Gas station,
Em Em
Or join.
[Bridge]
C Em
La la laa, la la la laa laa laa laa,
Dsus2 Em
La la la la la la la la li,
C Em
La la laa, la la la laa laa laa laa,
Dsus2 C Em
Hush little baby don't you cry.
[Interlude]
Em Dsus2 C Dsus2
Em Dsus2 C Dsus2
[Verse 3]
Em Em
So pick your uniform but choose it well,
Em Em
Prepare thyself your soul to sell,
C C
Factory,
Dsus2 Dsus2
Gas station,
Em Em
Or join.
[Outro]
G
Oh but I got dreams of a different plan,
D
I'm going down the river gonna wash my hands,
C
Me and Janie gonna come out clean,
D
Not smelling like smoke and gasoline,
G
With a hand on the bottle and one on the wheel,
D
Won't be slave to the iron and steel,
C
The choices are no choice at all,
D Bm
Just the flipping of a coin,
C C
It's factory,
Dsus2 Dsus2
Gas station,
Em Em
Or join.
D C
But I won't choose no factory,
Dsus2
And I won't work no station,
Em Em Em
And I sure as hell won't join.
