Wake the union
Sound the alarm
They’re storming the gates
Of the old city farm
So I won’t go down to the company town no more
Wolves in the night been circling the flock
Shepherds are honing their knives on the block
So I won’t go down to the company town no more
Singing and dancing up on the hill
Down in the street we’re paying the bills
The wheelers and dealers fixers the spies
Cashing their cheques they’re peddlin’ their lies
So I won’t go down to the company town no morе
The smart money’s sailing out to the еast
Plans have been hatched and palms have been greased
So I won’t go down to the company town no more
Call out the coastguard send up the flares
The icebergs coming but no-one cares
So I won’t go down to the company town no more
Here below deck you know nothing has changed
The book have been cooked, the chairs re-arranged
But I’m in a lifeboat over the side
And I’m pulling away on the sweet morning tide
So I won’t go down to the company town no more
Wake the union ring out the bells
The party is over and I’m hurtin’ like hell
Here’s one lost soul that won’t be found
When the trumpet peals of judgement sound
I won’t go down to the company town no more
