Lyrics |
Fling all your troubles into the wind Don’t ever you cry Don’t ever give in And you’re much better off The sooner you learn Learn to perfection that your greatest sin Is being out of phase with the crowd born to win Growing up in this company town
They’ll have all the others They’ll have all of your brothers They’ll have all of your sisters too Their system to maintain Requires a great brain drain And it just could get real plain The brain they must restrain Belongs just to you Growing up in this company town
There’s no need to talk too loud Nor hang with the wrong crowd No big need to run real fast Chasing things that just can’t last Just be sure when you’re outclassed That the cure for the outcast Can’t be found on their home ground Growing up in this company town
So fling all your errors into the wind Fresh flock of terrors will crawl under your skin Once you precognize the situation you’re in As soon as you realize that you’re playing for your skin It’s your skin that you’re playing for Your skin that they’ll nail to their wall when you fail To escape from their jail The jail you call company town The jail you call company town This jail they call company town
