Company Sin Lyrics - Live At St. Gallen - John Butler Trio

Ben got a job at the mine, along the way 

He said everything was fine until that fateful day 

That's when his luck started to change 

The day he went to help and go blow up that mountain range 

Ben moved to town a year ago or maybe more 

Straight out of high school, the whole he had in store 

Wanted to travel, needed some dough 

Everybody worked the mines, why should he say no? 

Don't ask him why, he can't explain 

Why now things for him have changed 

It's not his land, they're not his songs 

He can't work out why he don't belong 

He part of company, part of company, part of company sin 

Won't someone please tell the lad when Humbug did begin? 

Part of company, part of company, part of company sin 

Won't someone please tell the lad when Humbug did begin?

Now legend has it, or so they say 

The bones of an ancient people, yeah that's where they lay 

And their descendants hold close to heart 

Oh, that mountain range Ben was helping blow apart 

And so I said for Ben things weren't quite right 

Now he's waking up screaming every single night 

Hearing voices in a different tongue 

The screaming of the old, yeah, the screaming of the young 

Don't ask him why, he can't explain 

Why now he feels in so much pain 

It's not his land, they're not his songs 

He can't work out why he don't belong 

He part of company, part of company, part of company sin 

Won't someone please tell the lad when Humbug did begin? 

Part of company, part of company, part of company sin 

Won't someone please tell the lad when Humbug did begin?

Now Ben's 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 

He part of company, part of company, part of company sin 

Won't someone please tell the lad when Humbug did begin? 

Part of company, part of company, part of company sin 

Won't someone please tell the lad when Humbug did begin?
