EXTRA! #120 It’s Labour Day here and in a few other countries. We picked Factory by Bruce Springsteen to go with it. Happy Labour Day for those of you that celebrate it today.
“Through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain,
I see my daddy walking through them factory gates in the rain,
Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life,
The working, the working, just the working life.
Â
End of the day, factory whistle cries,
Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes.
And you just better believe, boy,
somebody’s gonna get hurt tonight,
It’s the working, the working, just the working life.”
Â
(Bruce Springsteen)
