Down the Ladders and Up the Snakes
Lyrics
Put away your tiny violin
We can't help it if we're not that into you
Here's what happens in the real world
We dig the holes that you get hurled into
Wake up you're living in a dream
It's a dream of somebody else's
Down the ladders and up the snakes
Down the ladders and up the snakes
You've been listening to the government
You've been reading all the supplements as well
They don't understand the working parts
I'll be glad to see their bleeding hearts in hell
We gather round the dreaming spires
We light the sacrificial fires
We go down the ladders and up the snakes
Down the ladders and up the snakes
Wait it out until the bad news breaks
No one understands this mighty task
No one understands the sacrifice they ask of you
Like the lady in my spin class said
Show them mercy and they'll cut you dead in two
We built this mighty argosy
Weighed down with gold and ashes
Down the ladders and up the snakes
Down the ladders and up the snakes
Wait it out until the bad news breaks
