Switchfoot - Company Car Lyrics
Mike was rightWhen he said I'd put up a fight to be someoneA fight to be me, but see nowI'm down under the pavement ofCapitol Hills, with lower case peopleAs time rolls by my dreams have becomeThat which is attainable, but not what I'm looking forI've got the company carI'm the one swinging at two below parSee I've become one with the ones that I never believed inCuz I've got the company car, yeahHey, I'm the king of things I've always despisedI'm the gingerbread man who got eaten aliveI'm half baked, I'm fakeBut see I've got hotels on Park Place and BoardwalkAnd 200 bucks I pass goBut oh, life's taken its tollHave I won Monopoly to forfeit my soul?I've got the company carI'm the one swinging at two below parSee I've become one with the ones that I never believed inCuz I've got the company car, yeahAll the king's horses at the foot of the wallThey're taking pictures of the man who's lost allOf his masks of pretention, he's got two fisted luckHis is the one they find someone else behind that smileGuarding tears and fears, he burns like an engineDriving away all the ones that he lovesMike was right, hey Mike!We're one and the sameWe're the faceless combatants of the loneliest gameAnd to say I'll wave as I'm driving byWith that smirk in my eye, yellingHey! I'm something, man! Check me out!I've got the company carI'm the one swinging at two below parSee I've become one with the ones that I never believed inCuz I've got the company car, yeah check me out...
