"Corporate"

How many left to go?
It's all been a blur you know
And hey, it's nice to be important!
- but where are we at? How many left to go?

So many people depend on me
they got kids to pay,
they got bills to feed
they got dreams to wake into doubts and fears
so I will sign my name
for the next ten years - I'm corporate
corporate! pay me and I'll spend it I am corporate,
corporate! break me and I'll bend it I am corporate,
corporate! said it like I meant it 'cause I'm corporate,
corporate!
inter-independent, baby.

Hasn't it all been done?
The many have pulled as one
We've yielded up to the collective,
and made it all great. Hasn't it all been fun?

Now my corporation can kick your's ass
we got the market share,
we got the business class
we got the satisfaction to guarantee
and what you start with them
is gonna end with me, 'cause I'm corporate
corporate! pay me and I'll spend it I am corporate,
corporate! break me and I'll bend it I am corporate,
corporate! said it like I meant it 'cause I'm corporate,
corporate!
inter-independent, baby.

I finally begin to see:
It's all been explained to me
A vision I see eye-to-eye with
a mission I choose to accept, I choose to be

where I find myself making perfect sense
it's like everyone's on one big wavelength
and we're all possessed with the will to win -
well how long have I waited to fit right in? I'm corporate
corporate! pay me and I'll spend it I am corporate,
corporate! break me and I'll bend it I am corporate,
corporate! said it like I meant it 'cause I'm corporate,
corporate!
You're too independent, baby.

So many people depend on me:
they got kids to pay, they got bills to feed
they got dreams to wake into doubts and fears
so I will sign my name for the next ten years
