John Butler Trio Company Sin Lyrics

Company Sin Lyrics

Ben got a job at the mine along the way. 

He said everything was fine until that fatefulday . 

That's when his life, started to change. 

The day he went to help and go blow up that Mountain Range. 



Ben Moved to town a year ago or maybe more 

Straight out of High School 

the whole world he had in store 

Wanted to travel, needed some dough 

Everybody worked the mine why should he say no. 



Don't ask him why 

Now things for him have changed 

It's not his land, they're not his song's 

He can't work out why he don't belong, 



He part of Company 

part of Company Sin. 

Won't someone please tell the lad, 

when Humbug did begin. 



Now legend has it or so they say, 

The Bones of an Ancient People, 

Yeah, that's where they lay and, 

Their Descendents, Hold close to Heart. 

Oh that Mountain Range Ben was helping blow apart 



And as I said for Ben things weren't quite right. 

Now he's waking up, screaming every single night. 

Hearing voices in a different tongue, 

The screaming of the Old, the screaming of the Young 



He part of Company 

part of Company Sin. 

Won't someone please tell the lad, 

when Humbug did begin. 



Now Ben moved on, job left him a while back 

Now his thanking God that his boss gave him the sack. 

But in the mirror, yes he can face. 

The day he stopped helping go blow up that Sacred Place
