Think I'll go on now Jump in the river Try to cool my hot head down Then I hear that radio tryin' to sell me something That's when I change my mind and head back into town Then I grab a shotgun I load it full of quarters I go to find the first mother and daughter I can And when I pull the trigger, it makes me feel much bigger I'm gonna be this towns most famous psychopath! Cause if I cant get up the ladder I'm gonna tear it, I'm gonna tear it down If I cant get up that golden ladder I'm gonna shoot it down Welcome to the horror show, NRA singing 'Doe see doe' Find a commie smash his face lets enslave the human race! Everyone we know is here Madonna, Prince and Coors light beer Looking, sounding, feeling, great! Helping all of us to hate Little voices and silent nights And empty pockets and civil rights Cashing in of famous face, helpin' us to stay in place! Keep the machine oiled to kill, fightin' for a Dollar Bill! Take no choices Make no moves Play to win and always lose! Cause if you cant get up the ladder You want to tear it down, you wanna tear it down I you cant get up that golden ladder Just shoot it down! Wake up fools the tide is high! Stay asleep, or hear the cry! World on fire, world a flood Howling winds and seas of blood You know I'm not the first to shout about mother earth kicking us all out! I'm not the first to feel the pain each and every drop of rain! You know I aint the first I aint the last To warn us this will never last! The sky is falling, the core is calling Big buck big shots keep on stalling! No more time to wait it out Gotta cry, gotta shout! Wake up fools or die asleep Lay down with that familiar creep Cause if you cant get up the ladder You want to tear it down, you wanna tear it down I you dont get up that golden ladder Ooh ooh, just knock it down! Now those awake get ready please Protect yourself and families From bugs and drugs and new disease And while you're down on bended knees Pray for sky and pray for trees And pray for love to wash ya clean And kill the old killing machine And then watch for things you've never seen! Cause somewhere in this kalidescope Of new-age hucksters and dopes on hope A thread of light can work inside and Float you on a rising tide And keep your heart, and keep your head And keep a candle by your bed For the time is close its almost up You better travel with a knife and cup And speak your truth no matter when Don't hide your light or deny a friend For the time is close, its up to us To jump off of this speeding bus Close your eyes, and feel the earth Labor as she's giving birth Remember who and where we are The third stone from the solar star! Cause if you cant get up the ladder, no You want to tear it, you wanna kick it down! I you cant get up that corporation ladder Ooh, just shoot it down! So I think I'll go on down and Jump in the river And try to cool my hot head down Then I hear that radio tryin' to sell me something That's when I change my mind and head back into town And when I grab my shotgun I load it full of quarters I go out and find the first mother and daughter I can And when I pull the trigger, it makes me feel much bigger I'm gonna be this towns most famous psychopath! Cause if I cant get up the ladder I'm gonna tear it, I'm gonna tear it down If I dont get up that golden ladder Ooh, I'm gonna shoot it down! It's time for circles, not ladders
