It seems you've 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 you're looking fine.
|
The boy would be a businessman and he signs the bottom line.
|
|
Singing company man, do what you can with my name.
|
Rock and roll man, here I am, I'm staking my claim to fame.
|
|
He's got the smiling face of a friend, still you're not quite certain you know him.
|
The smile turns into a grin, what do you owe him? You know you owe him.
|
|
So if there's something you do well, something you're proud of,
|
better to save some for yourself if that's allowed.
|
The crowd will never know you, you'll hardly know yourself,
|
they'll turn you round and blow you up till you think you're someone else.
|
|
Singing company man, do what you can with my name.
|
Rock and roll man, here I am, I'm staking my claim to fame.
|
|
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.
