1
Hey, Baby I just got back from town
2
Where the bribes are paid
3
Honey, they turned my offer down
4
They say the deal's already made
5
So now I gotta stand and watch
6
While it all comes down
7
And the buzzards and the hawks
8
And the judges and the mob
9
Circle round
10
Now if I were the queen of all the world
11
I would go in chains just to see you free
12
Of the ropes that bind you
13
And the role you play
14
And the pride that hooks you
15
While the big ones get away
16
Love junkies wanna change the world:
17
It quickly stays the same
18
Money junkies hire all the smart ones
19
Power junkies run the game
20
One step at a time
21
Polarity Hill
22
If the bad guys don't get you, baby

With angels on the take

Hey don't the wars come easy
27
Hey don't the peace come hard
28
Now if I had a way to reach the sky
29
I'd grab that crescent moon
30
Wield it like a knife
31
Save you from the lies
32
From the ropes that bind you
33
And the role you play
34
And the game that hooks you
35
While the big ones get away
