Plastic factory is the track n.9 from Safe as Milk, the debut album by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, originally released in 1967. It is a heavily blues-influenced work, but also hints at many of the features—such as surreal lyrics and odd time signatures—that would later become trademarks of Beefheart’s music.
The album is also notable for the involvement of a 20-year-old Ry Cooder, who plays guitar and wrote some of the arrangements.

Plastic Factory lyrics:
Phos`phrous chimney burnin`
Modern-men`s a-learnin`
Time and space a-turnin`
Motor`s engine churnin`
fac`trys no place for me boss man let me be
Wind and wave all blowin`
Mountain `n` sky showin`
Bee `n;`` flower growin`
Boy`n`girl are glowin`
fac`trys no place for me boss man let me be
Minds inside are goin`
Muscle `n` bone are showin``
One thing sure are knowing (sure I`m?) knowin`
Get a fire goin`
fac`trys no place for me boss man let me be boss man let me be boss man leave
me be
Enjoy!
