Mike was right
When he said I d put up a fight to be someone
A fight to be mebut see now
I m down under the pavement of
Capitol Hillswith lower case people
As time rolls by my dreams have become
That which is attainablebut not what I m looking for

I ve got the company car
I m the one swinging at two below par
See I ve become one with the ones that I never believed in
Cuz I ve got the company caryeah

HeyI m the king of things I ve always despised
I m the gingerbread man who got eaten alive
I m half bakedI m fake
But see I ve got hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk
And 200 bucks I pass go
But ohlife s taken its toll
Have I won Monopoly to forfeit my soul?

I ve got the company car
I m the one swinging at two below par
See I ve become one with the ones that I never believed in
Cuz I ve got the company caryeah

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 pretentionhe s got two luck
His is the one they find someone else behind that smile

Guarding tears and fearshe burns like an engine
Driving away all the ones that he loves
Mike was righthey Mike!
We re one and the same
We re the faceless combatants of the loneliest game
And to say I ll wave as I m driving by
With that smirk in my eyeyelling
Hey! I m somethingman! Check me out!

I ve got the company car
I m the one swinging at two below par
See I ve become one with the ones that I never believed in
Cuz I ve got the company caryeah check me out...
