Company Town

verse 1 Wake the union, sound the alarm They're storming the gates of the old city farm And I won't go down to the company town no more Wolves in the night, circling the flock Shepherds are honing their knives on the block So I won't go down to the company town no more stick 1 They're singing and dancing up on the hill but here in the street we're paying the bills for the wheelers and dealers, fixers and spies peddling their wares and telling their lies and I won't go down to the company town no more verse 2 You know, the smart money's leaving, it's heading out east but they're sailing right into the heart of the beast So I won't go down to company town no more Call out the coast guard, send up the flare there's an iceberg coming, but noone cares and I won't go down to the company town no more Stick 2 But here below deck, looks like nothing has changed but the books have been cooked and the chairs rearranged So I'm in the life boat, over the side Pulling away on the sweet morning tide and I won't go down to company town no more verse 3 So wake up the union, ring on the bell Now the party's over and it's hurting like hell Here's one lost soul that won't be found 'til the trumpet peals of judgment sounds and I won't go down to the company town no more
