For every child there dawns the day They wonder from where they come Why is the sky so pink tonight? How fast the clouds fly by
And so you come up with stories you tell Eyes are open wide When you tell them about the sky All that beneath resides
There is a factory clouds are made in They make 'em big and blue The factory eats you It swallows you whole It fills you with conceit And never let you leave If you ever dream at the end of the day That you're gonna live as a free man There's no hook, no sinker, no line And you will never leave the cloud factory
If you join the same brigade I did when I was young You will never see beyond The skyline of this town
Take my word, my son, and run! While your dreams fly free! Have them write my story down Like silence breaking sound!
There is a factory clouds are made in They make 'em big and blue The factory eats you It swallows you whole It fills you with conceit And never lets you leave If you ever dream at the end of the day That you're gonna live as a free man There's no hook, no sinker, no line And you will never leave the cloud factory
It's sad if you never leave You believe what you see And you follow the lead (woo ooh) But the eyes they deceive There is nothing to see But cloud factory creams Ooh ooh!
But hey! Isn't it fun at the end of the day When everyone looks like me? Swallowing points of stale apathy Having dreams where I would be without the factory!
If you ever dream, at the end of the day That you're gonna live as a free man There's no hook, no sinker, no line And you will never leave the cloud factory
There is a factory clouds are made in They make 'em big and blue The factory eats you It swallows you whole It fills you with conceit And never lets you leave If you ever dream at the end of the day That you're gonna live as a free man Irony shall be the justice you find In case you never leave the cloud factory
