Assemblage 23

Lyrics to Factory

Don't cry

You've got to hide

Your emotions inside

You can't appear too weak



Cold steel

There's nothing to feel

You must never reveal

The damage these emotions wreak



You'd better not complain

About what you've sustained



[Chorus]

We do a great disservice to our young

And feign surprise at what one day they become

We reap a consequence we don't intend

We build a factory for broken men



War

Its what you're meant for

Destroy the ones we abhor

For all that we hold true



Back home

You're on your own

Left to suffer alone

With the demons you brought back with you



You'd better not complain

About what you've sustained



[Chorus]



Confined

You'll do your time

Your existence a crime

Caged like a common beast



Your worth

Lower than dirt

Your future inert

If you ever get released



You'd better not complain

About what you've sustained



[Chorus]
