the men they couldn’t hang – company town lyrics

in the town i was born things are getting very strange
people there i hardly recognize
all of my old set have packed their bags and left
since home became a business enterprise

there are jobs going spare, there are houses being built
the credit’s good in all the company stores
all the air is clean, all the pavements glеam
and everyone obеys the company law

now they’ve locked away the drunks
and gentrified the pubs
given guns to all the supermarket corps
they’ve eradicated crime and the buses run on time
they’ve made the act of love against the law

[chorus]
mr. company man on the company land
stands every street and building in the town
every park, every green, every hope and dream
the company owns every piece of ground
and everybody in the company town
well, some people say they are lucky in their birth
whose nationality bequeaths their pride
but those who own the earth are still tethering their serfs
with company allegiance fully tied
with company allegiance fully tied

in the town i was born things are getting very strange
people there i hardly recognize
all of my old set have packed their bags and left
since home became a business enterprise

- the men they couldnt hang lyrics
