Company Man — текст песни (Zoetrope)

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
