Intro: GC x4
G
Punched in just about five
CG
Ratchet in my left and a flat-head in my right
DCG
Hoping that Ill hear about a raise by the end of the week
G
Just a hundred and thirty-two steps
CG
Making machines out a steel and sweat
DCG
Over and over again like a record thats on repeat
Chorus:
C
And its all manufactured time
G
When youre on the assembly line
D
Building products made to sell
CG
Moving on a conveyer belt
C
And its a job for a diligent heart
G
And Im just one of a thousand parts
DC
You might think Ive got it rough but I dont mind
GC
Working on the assembly line
G
All day in steel-toed boots
CG
Vacation days that Ill never use
DCG
Theres a rumor going round thats got nothing to do with me
G
Charlie swears hes gonna quit
CG
Put his two weeks in and thats it
DCG
Hes been talkin that way since the summer of 93
Chorus:
C
And its all manufactured time
G
When youre on the assembly line

Moving on a conveyer belt
C
And its a job for a diligent heart
G
And Im just one of a thousand parts
