Corporate rain

If you feel that any moment, any day now
you may well be going insane
and you find it more than hard just to believe
you've got only yourself to blame
with your mind that's full of women's underwear
and full of famous robbers and clowns
you're into dealing, wheeling and dealing, you're into squeeling
grovel for that thought police frown

     well that's corporate rain
     that's the company's gain
     that's corporate rain
     that's the company's gain

you got friends, got friends no end but why do they
all seem to have to be on the dole
they got time, lots of free time on their hands but
to you it seems like they're on parole
yes sir preacher, yes sir teacher, yes your honor
but please don't look at me
'cause whenever, and that's forever, you do you always seem to
go and throw the book at me 


         refr.

fell in love, so you took off, you knocked her up
so she had to be dependent on you
shouts and beatings, season's greetings, don't know what it's for
what gives ? god if I but knew
chances missed, let's go get pissed, buy solation
isolation in the things you call yours
newsreels, adverts, billboards, slogans put you firmly
on that bittersweet neurotic course
