The Men They Couldn't Hang - Company Town lyrics

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 pavemenrs 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 locked 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 ot 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 folks say they are lucky in their birth And their nationality bequeaths them pride But those who own the earrh 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
