When I was young my mother said
Someday son you're going to wind up dead
But it's five to nine, that while you're still alive
You'll wind up working nine till five
Well nine to five is eight till six
And getting by it ain't getting rich
They make you wait in line just to get your little fix

Working for the company
I'm working for the company
And till the day I die
Yeah I'll break my back and why
So old man Jack can make a stack
And sit right back and drink his wine
I'm, I'm, I'm working for the company
Well the bills roll in and there ain't no doubt
You dug a hole and you can't get out
And it's enough to make you wanna scream and shout

Working for the company
And till the day I die
Yeah I'll break my back and why
So old man Jack can make a stack
And sit right back and drink his wine
I'm, I'm, I'm working for the company
And till the day I die
Yeah I'll break my back and why
So old man Jack can make a stack
And sit right back and drink his wine
I'm, I'm, I'm working for the company
I'm, I'm, I'm working for the company
