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
