The machinist doesn't look back
No time in the machine factory
Lots of dirt and grime and muscle pain
Lots of hot embers from the iron ore
And does it run well, the production?
Is fulfilling the plan true pay?
In the rhythm of the machines he's allowed to earn his money
In the factory of dirt the clock runs tick tick tick
And at the will of his strong arm the machines stand still
And at the will of his strong arm the machines stand still
Determination and some courage
The hot embers do him good
And at the will of his strong arm the machines stand still
And at the will of his strong arm the machines stand still
The machinist doesn't look back
No time in the machine factory
Lots of dirt and grime and muscle pain
Lots of hot embers from the iron ore
And does it run well, the production?
Is fulfilling the plan true pay?
In the rhythm of the machines he's allowed to earn his money
In the factory of dirt the clock runs tick tick tick
And at the will of his strong arm the machines stand still
And at the will of his strong arm the machines stand still
