Snakes and ladders
by Men At Work

I could 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
ou 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 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
I could fall but I´m always on the floor
You could make a million staring at the ceiling
ou 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 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
