Switchfoot

Switchfoot - Company Car lyrics

rate me

Mike was right when he said I'd put up

A fight to be someone, a fight to be me

But see now, I'm down

Under the pavement

Of capital hills and lowercase people

As time rolls by my dreams have become

That which is attainable

Not what I'm looking for!

I've got the company car

I'm the one swinging at two below par

Yeah, I've become one with the ones

That I've never believed in

But I've got the company car

I'm the king of things I've always despised

I'm the gingerbread man

who got eaten alive

I'm half-baked! I'm fake!

But see I've got hotels on

Park Place and Boardwalk

And two hundred bucks

I pass go but, oh! Life's taken its toll

Have I won Monopoly to forfiet my soul?

All the king's horses

At the foot of the wall

They're taking pictures of

The man who's lost all of his

Masks of pretension

He's got two faces left

His is the one that he hides

On the left behind that smile...

Hiding tears and fear

That burns like an engine

It drives him away

From the ones that he loves

Mike was right:

"Hey Mike! We're one and the same;

we're the faceless combatants

in the lonliest game"

Ah but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by

With that smirk in my eye, yelling

"Hey! I'm something man, check me out!"
