Bruce Springsteen - Factory (1978) (Remaster w/Lyrics) [720p HD]

[Video #50] from http://www.youtube.com/user/MetalGuruMessiah the address for MetalGuruMessiah's Musical Paint Box! Check out my other videos!

"Factory" is my second video for a song from my favorite Springsteen album, Darkness On The Edge Of Town from 1978. This album is one of my all-time top 10....a masterpiece of the first degree!

[Lyrics]
Early in the morning factory whistle blows,
Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes,
Man takes his lunch, walks out in the
morning light,
It's the working, the working, just the
working life.

Through the mansions of fear, through the
mansions of pain,
I see my daddy walking through them
factory gates in the rain,
Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life,
The working, the working, just the
working life.

End of the day factory whistle cries,
Men walk through these gates with death in
their eyes,
And you just better believe boy,
somebody's gonna get hurt tonight,
It's the working, the working, just the
working life.

"somebody's gonna get hurt tonight"; what does the Boss mean by this line?

[MetalGuruMessiah]

@tulllguy

I always took it to mean that the anger/resentment some of the men bear because of the hard factory life will take it out on others...bar fights, domestic violence? Thanks for the comment!

[tulllguy]

@MetalGuruMessiah I think of this tune when I walk past a factory; Streets of Fire follows this song and it may be my #1 Bruce song.

@tulllguy

Yeah, we must like many of the same Springsteen songs, cause I'm also just starting work on a video for "Streets Of Fire" (definitely one of my favs as well!)

Coincidentally, my next upload is for "The Promised Land"....I've just finished the video. I previously did a video for "Adam Raised A Cain" as well...check it out if you haven't yet.....planning on a vid for each song on Darkness on the Edge of Town.

Very cool to hear from you....hope you enjoy some of the other vids!

@NihongoGuy OOPS. Dad lived 19 more years, not 29.

[NihongoGuy]

I remember my dad's years in the factory. He retired in 1977, just before I first heard this song. It describes life back then. The factory almost killed dad, his health improved when he retired and he even stopped his heart medicine at that time. He lived 29 years more without medication.

People who lament how our factories have moved to China are only considering PART of what that means. The "working life" in a factory isn't really a good life. It sure wasn't for dad.

@tulllguy he was talking about his father taking out his pain on his family
