Jackson Cannery Lyrics
Ben Folds
Stop the bus
I wanna be lonely
When seconds pass slowly
And years go flying by
You gotta stop the bus
And get off here
And i'm leaving this factory
And all she wants
Is food on the table
And i won't be able
To bring it home
And all i want, come on
'cause 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
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Millionaires (millionaires) and mill rats live side by side (side by side) here,
Messed up my brother's mind (woah!..)
Who's far from earth
And tell me what's he worth? (nothing!)
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
Woah, (come on), woah
Woah, (thats pretty good try it again!), (think so?), woah
It's 4 in the morning
Mother don't know
That i'm going far away
She's whispering to the moon
I hope you don't, join you soon
Baby boss
Climbs up on his soapbox
Great caesar's ghost
Knows what's best for me
Stop the bus
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
Big brother got the keys
And i got jackson cannery
Big brother got the keys
And i got jackson cannery
