The Company Watch

Tick tock
The company watch
Its not brass its solid gold
Tick tock
The company watch
It can’t be bought or sold
Tick tock
The company watch
On the back my name’s inscribed
Tick tock
The company watch
For the 25 years I’ve survived
Tick tock
The company watch
The company’s change of name
Tick tock
The company watch
But the company’s not the same
Tick tock
The company watch
It’s a global company now
Tick tock
The company watch
Ticks from Oslo to Macau
Tick tock
The company watch
For every tick and every tock
Tick tock
The company watch
We’ve made an engine block
Tick tock
The company watch
It’s ticking its time away
Tick tock
The company watch
It ticks to its final day
So tick bloody tick bloody tock
