Company Man

It’s Tuesday, ladies night, down at the Watering Hole
They got two dollar margaritas and they serve ‘em in a big fishbowl
She got part time, five bucks and hour as a Pack&Sack clerk
She saves a little money spending her time doing other women’s work

There she is, original sin, hanging on the end of the bar
You don’t know her from Eve, she know’s exactly who you are
As soon as she starts talking, boy, her face sure rings a bell
She’s working for the company man and you’re the clientele

Working for the company man
For all she sews, she never reaps
No promises to make or break with the company she’s keeping
Mixing business with pleasure Like that cocktail in her hand
She got in it for the money now she’s working for the company man

She looks good, she looks so good you never wonder what she’s thinking
She doesn’t look that thirsty, you keep asking what she’ll have to drink
She admits to being trouble but she’s no danger to your heart
She’s working the company man and your shifts about to start

Working for the company man For all she sews, she never reaps
No promises to make or break with the company she’s keeping
Mixing business with pleasure Like that cocktail in her hand
She got in it for the money now she’s working for the company man

One right after another, drinks and men and cigarettes
She can’t afford the time off and those are the benefits
She’s hooked them all together, empty boxcars on a train
And it’s just another habit just another link in her ball & chain.

She’d been hanging out at the silver dollar long before the legal age
Hoping to meet a millionaire but she settled for the minimum wage
I’m not that kinda girl she says when you ask her to meet your mom
She ditched every single high school class and took her teacher to the prom

Yeah she didn’t smile for the camera, but she looks straight at the lens
Working for the company, man, gives you lot’s of experience

Working for the company man
For all she sews, she never reaps
No promises to make or break with the company she’s keeping
Mixing business with pleasure Like that cocktail in her hand
She got in it for the money now she’s working for the company man
She got in it for the money now she’s working for the company man
