The Big Ones Get Away

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 I gotta stand and watch
 While it all comes down
 And the buzzards and the hawks
 And the judges and the mob
 Circle round
 Now if I were the queen of all the world
 I would go 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
