Meaning of the song
I like to listen English (usually US) music. But it's not so easy to catch every word and understand hole meaning of song. But "The Factory Gates" by Kaiser Chiefs was especially difficult to understand. What this lines mean:

They tell you day after day
To make your way through the factory gates
What you make on the factory floor
You take straight to the company store

I know "the factory gates" is metaphor. But for what?
