Abandoned Factory
Long-haired preachers come out every night/
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right/
But when asked how 'bout something to eat/
They will answer with voices so sweet/
You will eat, bye and bye/
In that glorious land above the sky/
Work and Pray, live on hay/
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.
And the starvation army they play/
And they sing and they clap and they pray/
Till they get all your coin on the drum/
Then they tell you when you are on the bum.
You will eat, bye and bye/
In that glorious land above the sky/
Work and Pray, live on hay/
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.
If you fight hard for children and wife/
Try to get something good in this life/
You're a sinner and bad man, they tell/
When you die you will sure go to hell/
You will eat, bye and bye/
In that glorious land above the sky/
Work and Pray, live on hay/
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.
Workingmen of all countries unite/
Side by side we for freedom will fight/
When the world and its wealth we have gained/
To the grafters we'll sing this refrain.
You will eat, bye and bye/
When you've learned how to cook and to fry/
Chop some wood, 'twill do you good/
And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye.
Happy Labor Day!
