Company Man

Lyrics

It seems you've been living on your own
 Lonely and free
 Looking to make yourself known
 Same as me
 Well I see you in the public eyes
 I see you're looking fine
 The boy would be a businessman
 And he signs the bottom line
 Singing company man, do what you can with my name
 Rock 'n' roll man, here I am
 I'm staking my claim to fame
 He's got the smiling face of a friend
 Still you're not quite certain you know him
 The smile turns into a grin
 What do you owe him?
 You know you owe him
 So if there's something you do well
 Something you're proud of
 Better to save some for yourself
 If that's allowed
 The crowd will never know you
 You'll hardly know yourself
 They'll turn you 'round and blow you up
 'Til you think you're someone else
 Company man, do what you can with my name
 Rock 'n' roll man, here I am
 I'm staking my claim to fame
 He can turn your time to gold
 You better make as much as you can, my friend
 'Cause his money will turn you old
 And they need a young man
 The job takes a young man
 ♪
 Company man
 My rock 'n' roll man, yeah
 Company man
 Rock 'n' roll man
 Company man, yeah
