For every child there dawns the day They wonder from where they come Why is the sky so pink tonight? How fast do clouds fly by? And so you come up with stories you tell Eyes are o - pen wide When you tell them about the sky And all that beneath resides There is a factory clouds are made in They make 'em big and blue The factory eats you it swallows you whole It fills you with conceit and never lets you leave If you ever dream at the end of the day That you´re gonna live as a free man There's no hook no sinker no line And you will never leave the cloud factory If you join the same brigade I did when I was young You will never see beyond the skyline of this town Take my word my son and run While your dreams fly free Have them write my story down Like silence breaking sound There is a factory clouds are made in They make 'em big and blue The factory eats you it swallows you whole It fills you with conceit and never lets you leave If you ever dream at the end of the day That you´re gonna live as a free man There's no hook no sinker no line And you will never leave the cloud factory Some of you never leave You believe what you see And you follow the lead But the eyes they deceive There is nothing to see But cloud factory dreams But hey isn't it fun at the end of the day When everyone looks like me Swallowing pints of stale apathy Having dreams where I would be without the factory If you ever dream at the end of the day That you´re gonna live as a free man There's no hook no sinker no line And you will never leave the cloud factory There is a factory clouds are made in They make 'em big and blue The factory eats you it swallows you whole It fills you with conceit and never lets you leave If you ever dream at the end of the day That you´re gonna live as a free man Irony shall be the justice you find In case you ever leave the cloud factory
