Sandi Thom - The Big Ones Get Away (feat. Buffy Sainte-Marie) lyrics

Your rating:

Hey, baby I just got back from town 
Where the bribes are paid 
Honey, they turned my offer down 
Said the deal's already made 

So now I must stand and watch 
While it all falls down 
And the buzzards and the hawks 
And the judges and the mob 
They circle around 

Now if I, 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 game that hooks you 
While the big ones get away 

Love junkies wanna change the world
Well, it quickly stays the same 
Money junkies wanna hire all the smart ones 
Power junkies rule the game 

One step at a time 
Polarity Hill 
If the bad guys don't get you
Then the good guys will 

With angels on the take 
And gangsters in the yard 
Hey, don't the war comes easy 
Don't the peace come hard 

If I had a way to reach to the sky 
I'd grab that crescent moon 
Wield it like a knife 
Save you from the lies 

And the ropes that bind you 
And the role you play 
And the game that hooks you 
While the big ones get away

Love junkies wanna change the world
Well, it quickly stays the same 
Money junkies wanna hire all the smart ones 
Power junkies rule the game 

One step at a time 
Polarity Hill 
If the bad guys don't get you
Then the good guys will
