(Refrain) Pa-ra-pa-pa-ra-ra Pa-ra-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa Da-ra-da-ra-da-ra Ba-ri-ra! (Verse 1) Jack walks in when the morning bell rings Working the line, doing his own thing Punching the clock but he's got bigger plans Building his future with his own two hands Machines keep hummin’, the hours roll slow Dreams in his head where he’d rather go But he laughs with the boys just to pass the time That’s the way it goes on the factory line (Chorus) There could be a way If we comply And hold to our trust And maybe one day We could untie The rope among us (Refrain) Pa-ra-pa-pa-ra-ra Pa-ra-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa Da-ra-da-ra-da-ra Ba-ri-ra! (Verse 2) Evelyn’s moving, tables to the floor Serving up smiles but she’s wanting more Taking the orders, working through the doubt Fighting her battles, finding her way out Coffee keeps pouring, tips don’t pay the rent Dreams of a life where her time’s well spent She hums a little tune just to ease her mind Hoping for a break she’s still waiting to find (Chorus) There could be a way If we comply And hold to our trust And maybe one day We could untie The rope among us (Chorus) There could be a way If we comply And hold to our trust And maybe one day We could untie The rope among us (Refrain) Pa-ra-pa-pa-ra-ra Pa-ra-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa Da-ra-da-ra-da-ra Ba-ri-ra! (Refrain) Pa-ra-pa-pa-ra-ra Pa-ra-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa Da-ra-da-ra-da-ra Ba-ri-ra! (Outro) Ba-ri-ra!
