The Big Ones Get Away Lyrics

The Big Ones Get Away lyrics

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
Igotta 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 90 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 
With angels on the take

and the gangsters in the yard 
Hey don't the wars come easy 
Hey don't
the peace come hard 
Now 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
