Lyrics

[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
