lyrics

When the road’s a rumble
And you’ve locked your stare
That’s when the madness of the factory is quiet by compare
When your words are humble
But taken as a dare
That’s when the madness of the factory is quiet by compare

Quiet by compare
Your vaudeville hook in hand
So, you pull the pills across the belt
And you try to understand
But no sense is there there

That’s when the madness of the factory...
Is quiet by compare
Is quiet by compare

When the hands keep spinning
Much faster than seems fair
That’s when the madness of the factory is quiet by compare
When you scratch for freedom
But no match is there
That’s when the madness of the factory is quiet by compare

Quiet by compare
Your vaudeville hook in hand
So, you pull the pills across the belt
And you try to understand
But no sense is there there
Just emptiness, despair

That’s when the madness of the factory
The madness of the factory
Madness of the factory
Is quiet by compare
Is quiet by compare
Is quiet by compare
Is quiet by compare
