Lyrics

In the town I was born things are getting very strange People there I hardly recognize All of my old set have packed their bags and left Since home became a business enterprise There are jobs going spare, there are houses being built The credit's good in all the company stores All the air is clean, all the pavements glеam And everyone obеys the company law [Chorus] Mr. Company Man on the company land Stands every street and building in the town Every park, every green, every hope and dream The company owns every piece of ground And everybody in the company town Now they've locked away the drunks And gentrified the pubs Given guns to all the supermarket corps They've eradicated crime and the buses run on time They've made the act of love against the law [Chorus] Mr. Company Man on the company land Stands every street and building in the town Every park, every green, every hope and dream The company owns every piece of ground And everybody in the company town Well, some people say they are lucky in their birth Whose nationality bequeaths their pride But those who own the earth are still tethering their serfs With company allegiance fully tied With company allegiance fully tied [Chorus] Mr. Company Man on the company land Stands every street and building in the town Every park, every green, every hope and dream The company owns every piece of ground And everybody in the company town And everybody in the company town In the town I was born things are getting very strange People there I hardly recognize All of my old set have packed their bags and left Since home became a business enterprise
