The Ladder

Never mind me while I steal your shit
 While I stab your back
 And I smile wide
 Never mind me while I cut your throat
 And I take your pride for my trophy case
 Enslaved, ungrateful, and happy as can be
 I'm climbing up the ladder, and you can't stop me
 Money in my fucking hand
 Power in my fucking head
 Excess is my god
 And damaged is my self-respect
 I'm working just to fill a hole that only I have left
 My ego is my joy
 And perfect is my dialect
 To speak the corporate language that these pricks all want to hear
 Money in my fucking hand
 Power in my fucking head
 Betraying a trust for a tiny reward
 The carrot is dangling in front of my face
 I will sell you out to any bidder that gives me a taste
 Operating under the guise of a friend
 A two-faced fuck is what I am
 This chosen duplicity is justified just to go up a rung
 I'm climbing up the ladder
 I'm climbing up the ladder
 I'm climbing up the ladder, and I'm happy as can be
 I'm climbing up the ladder
 I'm climbing up the ladder
 I'm climbing up the ladder, and you can't stop me
 I'm climbing up the ladder
 I'm climbing up the ladder
 I'm climbing up the ladder, and I'm happy as can be
 I'm climbing up the ladder
 I'm climbing up the ladder
 I'm climbing up the ladder, and you can't stop me
