Factory workers often created music that servd as a form of protest and a way to get them through the long hours of the workday. Describe what life must have been like for these textile factory workers

From just looking at the lyrics of "Song of the Shirt" by Thomas Hood it is easy to enquire how hard it must have been to be working at that point in time. The song talks about how ghastly the working conditions were back then by communicating how the roofs had holes in them and you could see them "as the stars shown through". This song also states how frivolous the amount of work was and how tired you would be after such tasks "with eyelids heavy and red". With the word "work" being repeated so many times it is obviously showing emphasis on the amount of work there must have been back then. This song also talks about poverty and hunger, so imagining this is very heart breaking in a way with all these horrible things happening to these workers.
