Company Car Lyrics


Mike was right
When he said I'd put up a fight to be someone
A fight to be meBut see now, I'm down
Under the pavement of Capitals Hills
And lowercase peopleAs time rolls by my dreams have become
That which is attainable
Now what I'm looking forI've got the company car
I'm the one swinging at two below par
Yeah, I've become one with the ones
That I've never believed in
But I've got the company carHey, I'm the king of things
I've always despised
I'm the gingerbread man who got eaten aliveI'm half baked, I'm fake
But see I've got hotels
On Park Place and BoardwalkAnd two hundred bucks
I pass go but, oh, life's taken it's toll
Have I won monopoly to forfeit my soul?But see, I've got the company car
I'm the one swinging at two below par

Yeah, I've become one with the ones
That I've never believed in
But I've got the company car, yeahAll the kings horses at the foot of the wall
They're taking pictures of the man who's lost
All of his masks of pretensionHe's got two faces left
His is the one that he hides
On the left behind that smileHiding tears and fear
That burn like an engine
It drives him away from the ones that he lovesMike was right, hey Mike
We're one and the same
We're the faceless combatants in the loneliest gameAh but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by
With that smirk in my eye, yelling
"Hey, I'm such a mess, check me out!"I've got the company car
I'm the one swinging at two below par
Yeah, I've become one with the ones
That I've never believed in
But I've got the company carYeah, check me out
I've got the company car
Yeah, check me out
I've got the company car, yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Switchfoot is a grammy-winning alternative rock band from San Diego, California, United States. The band was formed in 1996 with the brothers Jon Foreman (lead singer/guitarist) and Tim Foreman (bass). Long-time friend Chad Butler (drums) joined soon after. Eventually the band evolved to what it is today with the addition of members Jerome Fontamillas (key/guitar/electronics - formerly of Mortal and Fold Zandura) and Drew Shirley (guitar - formerly of All Together Separate).

Although the band started out playing at Christian music festivals, they shun the label of "Christian rock," with singer and guitarist Jon Foreman saying, "For us, it's a faith, not a genre. We've always been very open and honest about where the songs are coming from. For us, these songs are for everyone. Calling us `Christian rock' tends to be a box that closes some people out and excludes them. And that's not what we're trying to do. Music has always opened my mind -- and that's what we want." They started out on Charlie Peacock's label "re:think" and spent several years appearing at Christian festivals and enjoying Christian radio hits. Most of their early tours were with Christian bands and both of the band's new members were borrowed from Christian bands.

Switchfoot did not see success outside of the Christian rock scene until they were featured alongside singer Mandy Moore on the A Walk To Remember Soundtrack. The band's first true commercial success came in 2003 with the release of their fourth major label (and first mainstream label) offering, The Beautiful Letdown. The album went on to sell more than 2 million albums and Switchfoot became the most popular rock band to be associated with Christian music.

They were featured on the British Edition of the Spiderman II soundtrack along with the likes of Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional to name a few, in 2004 with the song 'Meant To Live'.

In 2005 Switchfoot released "Nothing Is Sound". The album went gold within 3 months and received much critical acclaim.

Switchfoot's highly anticipated album, titled "Oh! Gravity." was released on December 26th, 2006.

On November 10th, 2009, Switchfoot released their first album produced under their own label, lowercase people. "Mess of Me", a single from the album released months before the CD, has enjoy chart-topping radio plays since its release.

In 2010 Switchfoot released their album, "Hello Hurricane".

On September 27th, 2011, to much anticipation and excitement, Switchfoot released their newest album, "Vice Verses".
