[Verse 1]
It seems you've been living on your own
Lonely and free
Looking to make yourself known
Same as me
[Verse 2]
Well I see you in the public eyes
I see you're looking fine
The boy would be a businessman
And he signs the bottom line
[Chorus]
Singing: "Company man
Do what you can with my name
Rock and roll man, here I am
I'm staking my claim to fame"
[Verse 3]
He's got the smiling face of a friend
Still you're not quite certain you know him
The smile turns into a grin
What do you owe him?
You know you owe him
[Verse 4]
So if there's something you do well
Something you're proud of
Better to save some for yourself
If that's allowed
[Verse 5]
The crowd will never know you
You'll hardly know yourself
They'll turn you round and blow you up
Until you think you're someone else
[Chorus]
''Company man
Do what you can with my name
Rock and roll man, here I am
I'm staking my claim to fame''
[Verse 6]
He can turn your time to gold
You better make as much as you can my friend
Because his money will turn you old
And they need a young man
The job takes a young man
[Outro]
Oh Company man oh
My Rock and roll man oh
Company man
Rock and roll man
You can shuck and jive for me
And I - yeah oh
