(music & lyrics by Lee Lawless)
Well, we headed up the ladder, but they said it doesn't matter
The gallow's floor's been shattered and we'll soon be at the end of our ropes
Don't swoon, here's to ya standin'
But if you enter here, abandon all hopes
Better work so wit's prevailing, 'cause the current jerks are failing
Let the curse of their derailing be the bailing out of our slavery
We'll push them 'til they're tripping, oh, we're flipping off
The powers that be
And if we don't deliver, oh my babe, they'll make us shiver and shout
And 'fore you're wasting my time, it's high time you figured that out
You think you'll see something, say something, do something
Then take a bow? You'll still furrow your brow, oh, I'm telling you now...
You worry if it's tasteful, and you hurry to be graceful
But it's only fucking wasteful if it's a faceful of chance you ignore
And you're dancin' out the window with a spin, though fate is opening the door
They think that it's so thrillin' that they get to play the villain
But don't dismay, civilians, we're not chillin', hear the cries to REACT!
As as they light dies from their eyes, its no surprise
All the lies they'll redact
Oh, I can't stand a-waitin', baby, hatin' on the powers that be
I know you're not tryin' to hear it, but my dear, it was a conspiracy
With all the hot times and thought crimes, the weight of the world is at hand
So let's state our demands; make their fates understand
That it's all goin' wrong
Now's the time to stay strong
When it's all gone away
How will you still hold sway?
Oh, I can't stand a waitin', baby, hatin' on the powers that be
I know you're not tryin' to hear it, but my dear, it was a conspiracy
You think you'll see something, say something, lose something
Then take a bow? You'll still furrow your brow, oh, I'm telling you now
That it's all goin' wrong
Now's the time to stay strong
When it's all gone away
How will you still hold sway?
Well, we headed up the ladder, but they said it doesn't matter
The gallow's floor's been shattered, and we'll soon be at the end of our ropes
Don't swoon, here's to ya standing
But if you enter here, abandon all hopes.... ^
