company man

passed down from your father

you come by it honestly

passed out from exhaustion

looking around for some relief

you put your money on the wrong horse

all alone and in the middle of nowhere

you put your money on the wrong horse

premonitions start to whisper: when you've always been a company man

but who did you used to be?

you're out here flying the flag

but lost track of what it really means

when you've always been a company man

got the ground coming out from underneath

hey company man

start walking on your own two feet!

i get it

i get it

you can eat pretty good

but just cause you can doesn't mean that you should

i get it

i get it

you're just misunderstood

you said

gimmie a minute man
