Company Man — текст песни (James Taylor)

It seems youve been living on your own

Lonely and free

Looking to make yourself known

Same as me

Well I see you in the public eyes

I see youre 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

Rocknroll, man here I am

Im stacking my claim to fame



Hes got the smiling face of a friend

Still youre not quite certain you know him

The smile turns into a grin

What do you owe him

You know you owe him



So if theres something you do well

Something youre proud of

Better to save some for yourself

If thats allowed

The crowd will never know you

Youll hardly know yourself

Theyll turn you round and blow you up

til you think youre someone else



- chorus -



He can turn your time to gold

You better make as much as you can my friend

cause his money will turn you old

And they need a young man

The job takes a young man
