Kelton Ree Corporation Man Lyrics
Corporation Man by Kelton Ree
I've been bought
I've been sold
Working for the man
Just leaves me cold
Don't want to be
A corporation man
Used to be a guy like me
Could get a decent job
Have a family
The part I don't understand
What went wrong with the plan
You're the same as me
But with the power of money
Your soul is lined with gold
Your heart long ago turned to stone
Just don't look me in the eye
I'm not buying into your lie
I'm tired of being told
Everything's okay
While everything I own
Slips away
Someday in this crazy world
There'll be nowhere to hide
A new generation
Of the nation you plundered
Will rise
If I were You
I'd sail away
Find yourself a remote island
As soon as yesterday
I've been bought
I've been sold
Working for the man
Just leaves me cold
Don't want to be
A corporation man
I don't care what the law says
A corporation's not a man anyway
Don't want to be
A corporation man
I've been sold
Working for the man
Just leaves me cold
Don't want to be
A corporation man
Used to be a guy like me
Could get a decent job
Have a family
The part I don't understand
What went wrong with the plan
You're the same as me
But with the power of money
Your soul is lined with gold
Your heart long ago turned to stone
Just don't look me in the eye
I'm not buying into your lie
I'm tired of being told
Everything's okay
While everything I own
Slips away
Someday in this crazy world
There'll be nowhere to hide
A new generation
Of the nation you plundered
Will rise
If I were You
I'd sail away
Find yourself a remote island
As soon as yesterday
I've been bought
I've been sold
Working for the man
Just leaves me cold
Don't want to be
A corporation man
I don't care what the law says
A corporation's not a man anyway
Don't want to be
A corporation man
