Lyrics

[00:02] Hey, Baby I just got back from town
[00:08] where the bribes are paid
[00:13] Honey, they turned my offer down
[00:19] they say the deal's already made
[00:24] So now Igotta stand and watch
[00:30] while it all falls down
[00:35] and the buzzards and the hawks
[00:37] and the judges and the mob
[00:40] circle around
[00:45] Now if I were the queen of all the world
[00:56] I would g0 in chains just to see you free
[01:07] of the ropes that bind you
[01:13] and the role you play
[01:18] and the game that hooks you
[01:23] while the big ones get away
[01:32] Love junkies wanna change the world
[01:37] but it quickly stays the same
[01:42] Money junkies hire all the smart ones
[01:48] Power junkies run the game
[01:50] One step at a time
[01:55] Polarity Hill
[02:01] If the bad guys don't get you
[02:07] then the good guys will
[02:13] With angels on the take
[02:18] and the gangsters in the yard
[02:22] Hey don't the wars come easy
[02:28] don't the peace come hard
[02:31] Now if I had a way to reach the sky
[02:44] I'd grab that crescent moon
[02:48] wield it like a knife
[02:50] save you from the lies
[02:56] and the ropes that bind you
[03:01] and the role you play
[03:06] and the game that hooks you
[03:12] while the big ones get away
[03:20] Love junkies wanna change the world:
[03:25] but it quickly stays the same
[03:30] Money junkies hire all the smart ones
[03:36] Power junkies run the game
[03:39] One step at a time
[03:43] Polarity Hill
[03:48] If the bad guys don't get you
[03:55] then the good guys will
