Zoetrope Company Man Lyrics

Company Man Lyrics

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
