Capo 4th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
x4
Punched in just about five
Ratchet in my left and a flat-head in my right
Hoping that Ill hear about a raise by the end of the week
Just a hundred and thirty-two steps
Making machines out a steel and sweat
Over and over again like a record thats on repeat
Chorus
And its all manufactured time
When youre on the assembly line
Building products made to sell
Moving on a conveyer belt
And its a job for a diligent heart
And Im just one of a thousand parts
You might think Ive got it rough but I dont mind
Working on the assembly line
All day in steel-toed boots
Vacation days that Ill never use
Theres a rumor going round thats got nothing to do with me
Charlie swears hes gonna quit
Put his two weeks in and thats it
Hes been talkin that way since the summer of 93
Chorus
And its all manufactured time
When youre on the assembly line
Building products made to sell
Moving on a conveyer belt
And its a job for a diligent heart
And Im just one of a thousand parts
You might think Ive got it rough but I dont mind
Working on the assembly line
Chorus
And its all manufactured time
When youre on the assembly line
Building products made to sell
Moving on a conveyer belt
And its a job for a diligent heart
And Im just one of a thousand parts
You might think Ive got it rough but I dont mind
It aint a job for everyone but its mine
Working on the assembly line
On the assembly line
Clocked out about 5 p.m.
Wake up in the morning, do it all again
