  • For every child there dawns a day
    They wonder from where they come
    Why is the sky so pink tonight
    How fast to clouds fly by
    And so you come up with stories you tell
    Eyes are open wide when you tell them about the sky
    'N 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

    It's sad if 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
