Hey, Baby I just got back from town
where the bribes are paid
Honey, they turned my offer down
They say the deal's already made
So now I gotta stand and watch
while it all comes down
and the buzzards and the hawks
and the judges and the mob
circle around
Now if I were the
queen of all the world
I would go in chains
just to see you free
of the ropes that bind you
and the role you play
and the pride that hooks you
while the big ones get away
Love junkies wanna change the world:
it quickly stays the same
and money junkies hire all the smart ones
Power junkies run the game
One step at a time
Polarity Hill
If the bad guys don't get you
then the good guys will
With angels on the take
and gangsters in the yard
Hey don't the wars come easy
Hey don't the peace come hard
And if I had a way
to reach the sky
I'd grab that crescent moon
wield it like a knife
save you from the lies
From the ropes that bind you
and the role you play
and the game that hooks you
while the big ones get away.
