C Am
Hey, Baby I just got back from town where the bribes are paid,
F
honey, they turned my offer down,
C G
they say the deal's already made.
C Am
So now I must stand and watch while it all comes down,
F
and the buzzards and the hawks,
C G
and the judges and the mob circle around.
C Am
Now if I were the queen of all the world,
F
I would fall in chains,
C G
just to see you free
C Am
of the ropes that bind you and the role you play,
F
and the pride that hooks you,
C G
while the big ones get away.
Am
it quickly stays the same,
F
and money junkies hire all the smart ones,
C G
power junkies run the game
C Am
One step at a time, Polarity Hill,
F
if the bad guys don't get you, baby,
C G
then the good guys will.
C Am
With angels on the take and gangsters in the yard,
F
hey, don't the wars come easy,
C G
hey, don't the peace come hard.
C Am
Now, if I had a way to reach the sky,
F
I'd grab that crescent moon,
C G
wield it like a knife, save you from the lies,
C Am
from the ropes that bind you and the role you play,
F
and the game that hooks you,
C G
while the big ones get away.
