John Butler Trio - Company Sin lyrics

Ben got a job, at the mine along the way

He said eveything was fine until that fateful day

thats when his life started to change,

the day he went to help and go blow up that mountain range

been moved to town a year ago or maybee more

staright out of high school,

the whole he had in store,

Wanted to travel, needed some dough

eveybody worked the mine why should he say no

Don't ask him why,

He can't explain, why

now things for him have changed

Its not his land

They're not his songs

he can't work out why he don't belong

(chorus) x2

He part of company

He part of company

He part of company sin

Wont someone please tell the lad when humbug did begin.

Now legend has it,

or so they say

The bones of an ancient people,

yeh thats where they lay

And their decendants hold close to heart,

oh that mountain range that ben was helping to blow apart

And so i said things for ben werent quite right

now hes waking up man screaming every single night

Hearing voices in different tounge

The screaming of the old

yeah the screaming of the young

Don't ask him why,

He can't explain, why

now things for him have changed

Its not his land

They're not his songs

he can't work out why he don't belong

(chorus) x2

He part of company

He part of company

He part of company sin

Wont someone please tell the lad when humbug did begin.

(guitar)

Now Bens moved on

job left him a while back

Now he's thanking God that his boss gave him the sack.

But in the mirror, yes he can face

The day he stopped helping go blow up that sacred place

(chorus) x2

He part of company

He part of company

He part of company sin

now he noes when all that humbug did begin
