The Proud Flesh

Company Man
Jamie always was a good boy, did what he was told
Never got too hot, never got too cold
Well he went away to college, guess he did okay
Got his paper slip on graduation day
So he writes some applications and he cuts his hair
And he gets himself a job with a desk at a chair
Couple dozen years later, don't you think it's obscene
Jamie's sitting there staring at the same damn screen
He was a company man to the bitter end
if he had a lot of money never had a lot of friends
But he paid his dues, yeah he stayed in line
Til they put him in the ground in a box made of pine
And then Casey was a bus boy at the Oyster Bar
Busted ass for years and bought himself a car
It's an '87 Chevy Nova A to B
Little vinyl seams on the bucket seats
Casey takes the Chevy Nova where there's lots of sky
looking for some more things he can drive it by

Til the engine block drops out the front of the car
Now it's back to waiting tables at the Oyster Bar
He'll prob'ly never get a parade
If we're calling a spade a spade
And then Bobby's what you'd prob'ly call a salty dog
He's got leather skin, tougher than the bark on a log
Keeps a little taste of bourbon in a pocket canteen
He's been driving laps in a Caterpillar machine
At the crack of dawn, look at Bobby hobblin' by
not the type to laugh, he's not the type to cry
well he says he ain't complainin' but I wish he would
Says complainin' never did him any fuckin' good.
He'll be a company man to the bitter end
Never have a lot of money, never have a lot of friends
But he'll pay his dues, yeah he'll stay in line
Til they put him in the ground in a box made of pine
