COMPANY MAN
He’s a company man, his days are part of someone else’s plan
You gotta understand, that he’s a company man
He’s a company man, give him some slack when you can
You gotta understand, that he’s a company man
The grind’s a grain of sand piled one on another
Look back on a mountain pulled together
Balanced before the earthquake takes it
These separate days can make or break it
He’s a company man, …
Ripped apart, it’s nothing much
The hidden system’s blind to the touch
Made from day to day by hand
Even his dreams have the company brand
He’s a company man, …
He missed the morning glorys open again
In a building with no windows, time has no refrain
Sometimes I wish it’d stop
But it’s not lonely there, even on the top
He’s a company man, …
