MEN AT WORK - Snakes and Ladders lyrics

rate me

I can stand but I don't like the feeling

I could fall but I'm always on the floor

You could make a million staring at the ceiling

You could break your back and still be poor

One for the liar

One for the cheat

One for the man who you'll never meet

Piece of the action and a portion of pie

They'll be there waiting when your big chance comes by

There's a snake on top of every ladder

Who will tell you that he's your best friend

Everyone important needs an adder

But subtraction gets you in the end

One for the liar

One for the thief

One for the man whose time is so brief

Piece of the action and a portion of pie

They'll be there waiting when your big chance comes by

One for the liar

One for the cheat

One for the man who you'll never meet

Piece of the action and a portion of pie

They'll be there waiting when your big chance comes by

They don't care they don't mind

The in-betweens will steal you blind

I don't know I can't say

It seems its always been this way

You won't feel or complain

The gentle leech will cause no pain
