Ben got a job, at the mine along the way
he said eveything was fine until that fateful day
thats when his life started to change,
the day he went to help and go blow up that mountain range
been moved to town a year ago or maybee more
staright out of high school,
the whole he had in store,
wanted to travel, needed some dough
eveybody worked the mine why should he say no
Don't ask him why,
he can't explain, why
now things for him have changed
its not his land
they're not his songs
he can't work out why he don't belong
(chorus) x2
he part of company
he part of company
he part of company sin
wont someone please tell the lad when humbug did begin.
Now legend has it,
or so they say
the bones of an ancient people,
yeh thats where they lay
and their decendants hold close to heart,
oh that mountain range that ben was helping to blow apart
and so i said things for ben werent quite right
now hes waking up man screaming every single night
hearing voices in different tounge
the screaming of the old
yeah the screaming of the young
Don't ask him why,
he can't explain, why
now things for him have changed
its not his land
they're not his songs
he can't work out why he don't belong
(chorus) x2
he part of company
he part of company
he part of company sin
wont someone please tell the lad when humbug did begin.
(guitar)
Now bens moved on
job left him a while back
now he's thanking god that his boss gave him the sack.
but in the mirror, yes he can face
the day he stopped helping go blow up that sacred place
(chorus) x2
he part of company
he part of company
he part of company sin
now he noes when all that humbug did begin
