Exhaustion

The textile factory workers had to work harder than usual. After hearing the lyrics of the "Song of the Shirt" it showed that the workers had lots of things to accomplish. The workers fingers would be weary and worn from working so much in the factories.They probably did not have time to spend with family or even time to do things they enjoyed. The song also describes the horrible conditions that the factory workers had to deal with such as working in poverty, hunger and dirt. They would not get time to be on break to eat  lunch as many workers do today. They had to work in unsanitary conditons, and until their eyes were heavy and red. Overall the conditions they had to work in were probably the worst that anyone would ever have to deal with.
