Butch Springsteen - Gay Factory Lyrics

In the heart of the city, where the factories hum
We clock in every morning, the same old routine begun
Steel and sweat and brotherhood, we stand side by side
In this gay factory, where our true selves can't hide

We're working in the gay factory, where the machines don't care
Every day we're grinding, with a love we proudly share
In the heat of the moment, in the rhythm of the line
We're living out our freedom, one heartbeat at a time

The world outside can be cold, full of judgment and scorn
But in this place, we've found a home, where love is reborn
We hold each other up, through the hardest of days
In this factory of dreams, where love finds its ways

We're working in the gay factory, where the machines don't care
Every day we're grinding, with a love we proudly share
In the heat of the moment, in the rhythm of the line
We're living out our freedom, one heartbeat at a time

We've got our calloused hands, and our hearts on our sleeves
In this gay factory, we believe what we believe
No hiding in the shadows, no running from the light
We stand tall together, in this endless fight

When the whistle blows, and the day is done
We head home together, into the setting sun
With a love that's unbreakable, and a pride that's true
In this gay factory, we've found a love renewed

We're working in the gay factory, where the machines don't care
Every day we're grinding, with a love we proudly share
In the heat of the moment, in the rhythm of the line
We're living out our freedom, one heartbeat at a time

So here's to the workers, in the factory of pride
Where love is our engine, and we stand side by side
In this gay factory, where our spirits soar high
We're living for tomorrow, beneath the same sky
