[00:07.59]
[00:09.59] Mike was right when he said I'd put up
[00:13.78] A fight to be someone, a fight to be me
[00:17.75] But see now, I'm down
[00:20.78] Under the pavement
[00:22.74] Of Capitals hills and lowercase people
[00:27.09] As time rolls by my dreams have
[00:30.47] become
[00:31.43] That which is attainable
[00:34.15] Now what I'm looking for!
[00:36.50] I've got the company car
[00:39.89] I'm the one swinging at two below par
[00:43.97] Yeah, I've become one with the ones
[00:46.87] That I've never believed in
[00:49.79] But I've got the company car
[00:53.24]
[00:53.74] (Hey)I'm the king of things I've always
[00:57.45] despised
[00:58.22] I'm the gingerbread man
[01:00.49] Who got eaten alive
[01:02.68] I'm half baked! I'm fake!
[01:05.45] But see I've got hotels on
[01:07.69] Park Place and Boardwalk
[01:10.03] And two hundred bucks
[01:11.64] I pass go but, oh! Life's taken it's toll
[01:16.58] Have I won monopoly to forfeit my soul?
[01:21.42] I've got the company car
[01:24.70] I'm the one swinging at two below par
[01:28.84] Yeah, I've become one with the ones
[01:31.66] That I've never believed in
[01:34.64] But I've got the company car
[01:39.61] All the kings horses
[01:41.38] At the foot of the wall
[01:44.16] They're taking pictures of
[01:46.48] The man who's last all of his
[01:48.97] Masks of pretension
[01:51.07] He's got two faces left
[01:53.59] His is the one that he hides
[01:58.18] On the left behind that smile
[02:02.11]
[02:02.88] Hiding tears and fear
[02:05.76] That burn like an engine
[02:08.02] It drives him away
[02:09.63] From the ones that he loves
[02:11.96] Mike was right:
[02:13.85] Hey Mike! We're one and the same;
[02:16.50] We're the faceless combatants in the
[02:19.38] loneliest game
[02:21.19] Ah but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by
[02:25.89] With that smirk in my eye, yelling
[02:28.45] Hey, I'm something man, check me out!
[02:31.07] I've got the company car
[02:34.50] I'm the one swinging at two below par
[02:38.97] Yeah, I've become one with the ones
[02:41.76] That I've never believed in
[02:44.64] But I've got the company car
[02:47.88] check me out
[02:49.13] I've got the company car
[02:53.62] I've got the company car
[03:03.00]
[03:07.73]
[03:09.88] END
[03:09.88] END
