[00:10.000]Sixteen and time to pay off
[00:13.000]I got this job in a piss factory inspecting pipe
[00:17.000]Forty hours thirty-six dollars a week
[00:20.000]But it's a paycheck, Jack.
[00:22.000]It's so hot in here, hot like Sahara
[00:25.000]You could faint from the heat
[00:26.000]But these bitches are just too lame to understand
[00:29.500]Too goddamned grateful to get this job
[00:32.000]To know they're getting screwed up the ass
[00:34.000]All these women they got no teeth or gum or cranium
[00:38.000]And the way they suck hot sausage
[00:40.000]But me well I wasn't sayin' too much neither
[00:42.000]I was moral school girl hard-working asshole
[00:46.000]I figured I was speedo motorcycle
[00:48.000]I had to earn my dough, had to earn my dough
[00:51.000]But no you gotta, you gotta [relate, babe, ]
[00:53.000]You gotta find the rhythm within
[00:55.000]Floor boss slides up to me and he says
[00:58.000]"Hey sister, you just movin' too fast,
[01:02.000]You screwin' up the quota,
[01:03.000]You doin' your piece work too fast,
[01:06.000]Now you get off your mustang sally
[01:08.000]You ain't goin' nowhere, you ain't goin' nowhere."
[01:11.000]I lay back. I get my nerve up. I take a swig of Romilar
[01:16.000]And walk up to hot shit Dot Hook and I say
[01:19.000]"Hey, hey sister it don't matter whether I do labor fast or slow,
[01:24.000]There's always more labor after."
[01:27.000]She's real Catholic, see. She fingers her cross and she says
[01:30.000]"There's one reason. There's one reason.
[01:33.000]You do it my way or I push your face in.
[01:35.500]We knee you in the john if you don't get off your get off your mustang Sally,
[01:39.500]If you don't shake it up baby." Shake it up, baby. Twist & shout"
[01:46.000]Oh that I could will a radio here. James Brown singing
[01:50.000]"I Lost Someone" or the Jesters and the Paragons
[01:54.000]And Georgie Woods the guy with the goods and Guided Missiles ...
[01:57.000]But no, I got nothin', no diversion, no window,
[02:01.000]Nothing here but a porthole in the plaster, in the plaster,
[02:04.000]Where I look down, look at sweet Theresa's convent
[02:08.000]All those nurses, all those nuns scattin' 'round
[02:11.000]With their bloom hoods like cats in mourning.
[02:14.000]Oh to me they, you know, to me they look pretty damn free down there
[02:17.500]Down there not having crystal smooth
[02:20.000]Not having to smooth those hands against hot steel
[02:23.000]Not having to worry about the in-speed the dogma the in-speed of labor
[02:27.000]They look pretty damn free down there,
[02:28.000]And the way they smell, the way they smell
[02:32.000]And here I gotta be up here smellin' Dot Hook's midwife sweat
[02:36.000]I would rather smell the way boys smell--
[02:41.000]Oh those schoolboys the way their legs flap under the desks in study hall
[02:46.000]That odor rising roses and ammonia
[02:50.000]And way their dicks droop like lilacs
[02:53.000]Or the way they smell that forbidden acrid smell
[02:56.000]But no I got, I got pink clammy lady in my nostril
[03:00.000]Her against the wheel me against the wheel
[03:03.000]Oh slow motion inspection is drivin' me insane
[03:08.000]In steel next to Dot Hook -- oh we may look the same--
[03:12.000]Shoulder to shoulder sweatin' 110 degrees
[03:16.000]But I will never faint, I will never faint
[03:19.000]They laugh and they expect me to faint but I will never faint
[03:21.000]I refuse to lose, I refuse to fall down
[03:24.000]Because you see it's the monotony that's got to me
[03:27.000]Every afternoon like the last one
[03:29.000]Every afternoon like a rerun next to Dot Hook
[03:32.000]And yeah we look the same
[03:35.000]Both pumpin' steel, both sweatin'
[03:37.000]But you know she got nothin' to hide
[03:38.500]And I got something to hide here called desire
[03:41.000]I got something to hide here called desire
[03:43.500]And I will get out of here--
[03:46.000]You know the fiery potion is just about to come
[03:49.500]In my nose is the taste of sugar
[03:52.000]And I got nothin' to hide here save desire
[03:54.000]And I'm gonna go, I'm gonna get out of here
[03:57.000]I'm gonna get out of here, I'm gonna get on that train,
[03:59.000]I'm gonna go on that train and go to New York City
[04:02.000]I'm gonna be somebody, I'm gonna get on that train, go to New York City,
[04:07.000]I'm gonna be so bad I'm gonna be a big star and I will never return,
[04:12.000]Never return, no, never return, to burn out in this piss factory
[04:18.000]And I will travel light.
[04:20.000]Oh, watch me now.
