Company Town - The Men They Couldn't Hang

In the town I was born

Things are getting very strange

People there I hardly recognize

All of my old set have packed there bags and left

Since home became a business enterprise

There are jobs going spare

And there's houses being built

The credits good at all the company stores

All the air is clean and all the pavements gleam

And everyone obeys the Company laws

Mister Company Man on the Company land

Stands every street and building in the town

Every park every green every home and dream

The Company owns every piece of ground

And everybody in the Company Town

Now they've Jocked 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 to love against the law

Mister Company Man on the Company land

Stands every street and building in the town

Every park every green every home and dream

The Company owns every piece of ground

And everybody in the Company Town

Some people say they are lucky in their birth

And their nationality bequeaths them pride

But those who own the earth are still tethering the serfs

With Company allegiance fully tied

With Company allegiance fully tied

Mister Company Man on the Company land

Stands every street and building in the town

Every park every green every home 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 there bags and left

Since home became a business enterprise
