it seems you´ve been living on your own
lonely and free
looking to make yourself known
same as me
well i see you in the public eyes
i see you´re looking fine
the boy would be a businessman
and he signs the bottom line

(chorus)
singing company man, do what you can with my name
rock´n´roll, man here i am
i´m stacking my claim to fame

he´s got the smiling face of a friend
still you´re not quite certain you know him
the smile turns into a grin
what do you owe him
you know you owe him

so if there´s something you do well
something you´re proud of
better to save some for yourself
if that´s allowed
the crowd will never know you
you´ll hardly know yourself
they´ll turn you ´round and blow you up
´til you think you´re someone else

- chorus -

he can turn your time to gold
you better make as much as you can my friend
´cause his money will turn you old
and they need a young man
the job takes a young man
