[00:17.45] | Hey, Baby I just got back from town |
[00:22.59] | Where the bribes are paid |
[00:26.72] | Honey, they turned my offer down |
[00:31.16] | They say the deal's already made |
[00:35.44] | So now I gotta stand and watch |
[00:40.52] | While it all comes down |
[00:45.00] | And the buzzards and the hawks |
[00:47.44] | And the judges and the mob |
[00:49.79] | Circle round |
[00:53.87] | Now if I were the queen of all the world |
[01:02.97] | I would go in chains just to see you free |
[01:12.33] | Of the ropes that bind you |
[01:16.71] | And the role you play |
[01:21.30] | And the pride that hooks you |
[01:25.68] | While the big ones get away |
[01:32.56] | Love junkies wanna change the world: |
[01:37.30] | It quickly stays the same |
[01:41.77] | Money junkies hire all the smart ones |
[01:46.11] | Power junkies run the game |
[01:48.54] | One step at a time |
[01:53.22] | Polarity Hill |
[01:57.76] | If the bad guys don't get you, baby |
[02:02.34] | Then the good guys will |
[02:06.53] | With angels on the take |
[02:11.11] | And the gangsters in the yard |
[02:15.74] | Hey don't the wars come easy |
[02:19.82] | Hey don't the peace come hard |
[02:24.50] | Now if I had a way to reach the sky |
[02:33.47] | I'd grab that crescent moon |
[02:36.02] | Wield it like a knife |
[02:37.96] | Save you from the lies节 |
[02:42.54] | From the ropes that bind you |
[02:47.08] | And the role you play |
[02:51.50] | And the game that hooks you |
[02:55.94] | While the big ones get away |
