Stop the bus
I wanna be lonely
When seconds pass slowly
And years go flying by
You gotta stop the bus
I'll get off here
Enough's enough
And I'm leaving this factory

All she wants is food on the table
And I won't be able
To bring it home
All I wants
Come on
'cause all I need
Yeah, is free
'cause I'm a factory

[Chorus]
Did mother nature tell you
Boy you come and go
As you please
That's what she said to me
Big brother got the keys
And I got Jackson Cannery

Millionaires and millrats
Live side by side
Messed up my brother's mind
He's far from earth
Tell me what's he worth
Same as you, same as me
In this factory

[Chorus]

It's four in the morning
Mother don't know that
I'm going far away
She's whispering to the moon
I hope he don't join you soon

Baby boss climbs up on
His soapbox
Great Caesar's Ghost knows
What's best for me
So 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 bother got the keys
And I got Jackson Cannery
