The Ladder

So now we climb All we do is climb And we'll just keep on climbing Until the day we die Until the day that we die Until the day that we die Oh how they make us pay When we do not walk their way With their hands in my pockets And a number by my name And the war's on its way The war's on its way You've got another thing coming Because my war's on its way My war's on its way My war's on its way All my life, patiently I've been putting in the time Grinding my teeth So won't you come And vouch for me I've been working overtime Oh remember me Remember me I won't climb I won't climb, no I won't climb I won't climb, no, no I won't climb I won't climb, no This ladder to the top to see where it goes So now we wait As the wolves take the bait As they file up in lines They drink up all the wine So now the miracles fade Fade, fade The ladder is your only way out I said, all my life, patiently I've been putting in the time Grinding my teeth So won't you come And vouch for me I've been working overtime Oh remember me Remember me I won't climb I won't climb, no I won't climb I won't climb, no, no I won't climb I won't climb, no This ladder to the top to see where it goes I said, all my life, patiently I've been putting in the time Grinding my teeth Remember me I won't climb I won't climb, no I won't climb I won't climb, no, no I won't climb I won't climb, no This ladder to the top to see where it goes
