Where beggars take cheques and children steal credit cards From the pockets of wrecks that lie in the road I came to in my future that was just yesterday Unsure of my past, that's a knot in my gut

You buy me a drink then you think that you've got the right To crawl in my head and rifle my soul You tell me I'm free then you want me to compromise To sell out my dreams you say you'll make it worthwhile

Oh, boys would you drink to me now Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down

You tell me I'm drunk then you sit back and smug a while Convinced that you're right that you're still in command Of your senses. I laugh at your superior attitude Your insincere platitudes they make me throw up

The sooner you realize I'm perfectly happy If I'm left to decide the company I choose

Oh, boys would you drink to me now Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down Oh, boys would you drink to me now Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down Oh for the company born to the company Live for the company until I die

The sooner you realize I'm perfectly happy If I'm left to decide the company I choose

The company I choose is solidly singular Totally trustworthy, straight and sincere Polished, experienced, witty and charming So why don't you push off, this company's my own

Oh, boys would you drink to me now Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down Oh, boys would you drink to me now Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down Oh for the company, dream of the company Live for the company until I die Oh for the company, dream of the company Drink to the company until we die Until we die Until we die
