Watch them dance at the drop of a hat

Do they still believe that this world is flat

Open your hearts and give us your gold

March to the tune if you want to grow old



You play Snakes and Ladders

Forget all that matters

I'm in tears and shattered over nothing

One rung higher than you

Two rungs lower than him

I play Snakes and Ladders too



You cause pain where e'er you tread

They're served sand but you eat bread

Scurry rats, leave the sinking ship

They want no part of your death trip



You play Snakes and Ladders

Forget all that matters

I'm in rags and tatters over nothing

One step forward from you

Two steps backwards

Now we all play Snakes and Ladders
