lyrics

I never wanted much to be a company man
(entrusted with the keys to the company van)
punch a clock to take a piss in the can
I never wanted much to be a company man

I never cared for a personal brand
It's just a little marketing sleight of hand
Pick an aesthetic, theoretically planned-
and call it original: a personal brand

I never profited from free-enterprise
was only preyed upon & charged to survive
plant a pecan try, they'll give you a fine
to move the wealth across a growing divide

I never thought myself a communist, though
a glass can only pour the things that it holds
but lately I've been filling pitchers with holes
wasteful with the things that I barely know

I never wanted much to be a company man
(entrusted with the keys to the company van)
punch a clock before you piss in the can,
I never wanted much to be a company man
