[Intro]
G  D   G   D    C    F  D
[Chorus]
Do the Corporation GRock, do the Corporation DRoll
Ain't no one gonna Cstop you babe, now you're in conFtrolD  
Do the Corporation GRock, do the Corporation DRoll
You can take all the Cknocks, 'cause you got iron in your FsoulD  
[Verse 1]
When you was a Gbaby, did you have it all E7planned?
Did you map out your Cfuture, in the palm of your Dhand?
Make it with the Gmusic, get the people on their E7feet
Dancing to the Cmusic, you're really feeling Dsweet
[Verse 2]
Then you make it on the Gscene and suck up to the E7press
Cause a small Csensation, let the mugs do the Drest
Hung up on your Gego, one, two, three, four, E7five
Hit-records in a Crow, wow! now you really Djive
[Verse 3]
You'd better form a Gcompany, big office in the E7town
And when you pay them a Cvisit, they really know you've been aDround
And in the big Goutside world, you're still a household E7name
Like some kind of washingC-up liquid, or maybe just a dozy football Dgame
[Verse 4]
Hey, be a big senGsation, a million in a E7crowd
You used to be aCmong them once, now you've really been aDround
So, corporate your Gmusic, 'cause it's not music anyE7more
It's just the way that you Cused it, baby, and what you think it's Dfor
[Chorus]
Do the, do the Corporation GRock, do the Corporation DRoll
You can take all the Cknocks, you got iron in your FsoulD  
Do the Corporation GRock, do the Corporation DRoll
No one's gonna Cstop it now, now you're in conFtrolD  
[Verse 5]
I was dancing at the GGo-Go, good music on the E7stage
Seemed such a Clong time ago, it feels like an Dage
Dancing to the Gmagic, a brave new world aE7head
Don't think Ctwice, it's alright, I heard Dsomebody had said
[Verse 6]
So no one thought aGbout it, until it was too E7late
And now the gates of CEden, brothers and sisters, they're gonna have to Dwait
So, corporate your Gmusic, 'cause it's just E7muzak
It's just the way that you Cuse it, abuse it
And what other people Dthink it's all about
[Chorus]
Corporation, Corporation GRock, do the Corporation DRoll
You can Ctake all the knocks, 'cause you've got iron in your FsoulD  
Do the Corporation GRock, do the, do the Corporation DRoll
We know you're Cnobody's fool, you're nobody's FfoolD  
[Chorus]
Do the Corporation GRock, do the Corporation DRoll
But you gotta find yourCself, sunshine, before you know who's your FsoulD  
[Outro]     (## fade to end ##)
