Men At Work - Snakes And Ladders Lyrics






I could stand but I don't like the feeling
I could fall but I'm always on the floor
You could make a million staring at the ceiling
You could break your back and still be poor

One for the liar
One for the cheat
One for the man who you'll never meet
Piece of the action and a portion of pie
They'll be there waiting when your big chance comes by

There's a snake on top of every ladder
Who will tell you that he's your best friend
Everyone important needs an adder
But subtraction gets you in the end

One for the liar
One for the cheat
One for the man who you'll never meet
Piece of the action and a portion of pie
They'll be there waiting when your big chance comes by

They don't care they don't mind
The in-betweens will steal you blind
I don't know I can't say
It seems its always been this way
You won't feel or complain
The gentle leech will cause no pain

    mrmedallis the band haven’t existed for 20 years. Sorry man, no more music will be made by Men at Work. This is their last album. Don’t be disheartened! The lead singer, Colin Hay, still does solo shows and makes music himself.

    This band was BIG in its hay day.

    I remember hearing on 99 wplr New Haven Ct at midnight in June of 1985 see after midnight the dj had more of what DEVO sings in 1980 Freedom of Choice. so you hear a better selection of cool bands like DEVO. and deep album cuts from other bands like Men At Work Gary Numan ULTRAVOX. long cuts from RUSH and many more

    estos temas deberian de ser escuchados en las radios de mi querido jujuy ¡¡buena musica de los 80 si las hay!! gracias poe subir tamaño de musica

    I forgot this even existed..

    The sound is a bit harsh isn't it? Recording an album is one thing, mixing it well is another and musicians' ears are often too shot to hear the difference.

    What a swell track. I see now why it was included on the compilation.
