That was then, this is now Ain't no consolation prize for you anyhow 30 years punch in the clock For a big steak dinner And a fake gold watch Yes, we're living in trouble times Like a lone wolf workin' stiff living by your wits You put your dreams up on the shelf Well you're brotherhood's gone it's every man for himself Yea, the payoff is a rip off And the buyout well it's a sell out And the cold call is the last call 'Cause there's nothing left to lose Talkin' company man blues Well, you can't shop at the mom and pop 'Cause they all went down when the corporation came to town For what you're given, the cost of livin' At the pumps and the store, but you still need more Yea, the payoff is a rip off And the buyout well it's a sell out And the cold call is the last call 'Cause there's nothing left to lose Talkin' company man blues It used to take one, to know one But we all got eaten up by the big one Ya scream and shout, ya tough it out But they're raising up the ladder brother you don't even matter Well, the payoff is a rip off And the buyout well it's a sell out And the cold call is the last call Because the pride comes right before the fall There's no communion in the union Lots of splurgers on the mergers Well, now the white collar, is just the blue collar Singing the same blues as the field holler And there's a big tax on the tiny shack With no expansion on the mansion It's just a tricky joke on the workin' folk 'Cause they got nothing left to lose Talkin' company man blues
