[00:17.45]	Hey, Baby I just got back from town
[00:22.59]	Where the bribes are paid
[00:26.72]	Honey, they turned my offer down
[00:31.16]	They say the deal's already made
[00:35.44]	So now I gotta stand and watch
[00:40.52]	While it all comes down
[00:45.00]	And the buzzards and the hawks
[00:47.44]	And the judges and the mob
[00:49.79]	Circle round
[00:53.87]	Now if I were the queen of all the world
[01:02.97]	I would go in chains just to see you free
[01:12.33]	Of the ropes that bind you
[01:16.71]	And the role you play
[01:21.30]	And the pride that hooks you
[01:25.68]	While the big ones get away
[01:32.56]	Love junkies wanna change the world:
[01:37.30]	It quickly stays the same
[01:41.77]	Money junkies hire all the smart ones
[01:46.11]	Power junkies run the game
[01:48.54]	One step at a time
[01:53.22]	Polarity Hill
[01:57.76]	If the bad guys don't get you, baby
[02:02.34]	Then the good guys will
[02:06.53]	With angels on the take
[02:11.11]	And the gangsters in the yard
[02:15.74]	Hey don't the wars come easy
[02:19.82]	Hey don't the peace come hard
[02:24.50]	Now if I had a way to reach the sky
[02:33.47]	I'd grab that crescent moon
[02:36.02]	Wield it like a knife
[02:37.96]	Save you from the lies节
[02:42.54]	From the ropes that bind you
[02:47.08]	And the role you play
[02:51.50]	And the game that hooks you
[02:55.94]	While the big ones get away

[00:17.45]	Hey, Baby I just got back from town
