Company Man Lyrics - Singles - 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
