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 round

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

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, baby
Then the good guys will
But, Angels on the take and Gangsters in the yard

Hey don't the wars come easy
Hey don't the peace come hard
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
