|
You can't tell how thick your shell can get when you abide |
|
By a lifestyle that ain't worthwhile |
|
But you continue what you're doing |
|
On the hot sheet at the right time you get eaten by the hungry hand |
|
Good examples so you say is what you're making out of everyone |
|
CHORUS: |
|
Work all day you think all night ain't gonna sign my life away |
|
And there ain't no one as dumb as you, the company man |
|
Hammer and chisel insight on you I see if you're all there |
|
But you're long gone just a shambles of what could have been real |
|
And you tell me that it's my fault when I come short of pleasing you |
|
At the same time I can tell you that you'll end up in a ball and chain |
|
CHORUS |
|
Look here no mind who laughs last laughs best |
|
The company man takes from anyone's hand and he don't give a damn |
|
The company man takes from anyone's hand just to get where he can |
|
The company man he won't start seeing until he stops believing |
|
The company man |
|
That a nine to five is all you need to be alive |
|
The company man you think you're alive but your brain has done died |
