Life behind the walls

Men and women leave their homes
Leaving their families behind
They stand and queue and wait their turn
Having to listen what the management spew from behind
"We do this for you, your safety is key", they say
Practically giving you the finger as they walk away
Just tell the truth, that profits are key
It's easy to stand there and say sorry to our families
By then your pockets are lined but their hearts now empty
But all is well as long as the factory makes plenty
Money
It has us by the throat, you have us by the balls
You're the ones who conceal secrets behind your doors
