John Butler Trio - Company Sin Lyrics
Ben got a job at the mine along the way.He said everything was fine until that fateful dayThat's when his life started to change the dayHe went to help and go blow up that Mountain RangeBen moved to town a year ago or maybe moreStraight out of High School, the whole he had in storeWanted to travel, needed some doughEverybody worked the mine why should he say no.Don't ask him why, he can't explainWhy now things for him have changedIt's not his land, they're not his songsHe can't work out why he don't belongHe part the Company Sin.Won't someone please tell the ladWhere Hambug did begin.Now legend has it or so they sayThe Bones of Ancient People, yeh that's where they layAnd their decendents hold close to heart.Oh that mountain range Ben was helping blow apartAnd as I said for Ben things weren't quite rightNow he's waking up screaming every single nightHearing voices, in a different tongueThe screaming of the Old and the screaming of the YoungDon't ask him why, he can't explainWhy now things for him have changedIt's not his land, they're not his songsHe can't work out why he don't belongHe part the Company Sin.Won't someone please tell the ladWhere Hambug did begin.Now Ben moved on job left him a while backNow he's thanking god that his boss gave him the sackBut in the mirror yes he conforce the dayHe stopped helping go blow up that Sacred Place
