Three Steps Forward

And do your limbs feel weak

As your empire falls?

Did the roof crash down

Around your glass house walls?

Like a king you sat upon a hardwood throne

Nothing uproots you now

You had us all bow down to your guts of green

To the lure of wealth coming from our screams

With your money spent to keep us lenient

Nothing can save you now

And it's just two steps to the ledge my friend

One more puts you down on the pavement

Sometimes a little action is needed

As you've said many times before

You could get sold on the tortured souls

Of the young and old

Could you be so bold to hope we forget all your bloody debts

In the name of our mighty wealth?

I know that it seems harsh that you pay for your crimes

But you didn't care when we did the time

So we'll send you to visit every mom you cut

I'm afraid it's the bottom line

And it's just two steps to the ledge my friend

One more puts you down on the pavement

Sometimes a little action is needed

As you've said many times before

And it's just two steps to the ledge my friend

One more puts you down on the pavement

Sometimes a little action is needed

As you've said many times before

Patience doesn't make a man much wiser

It gives him time to make his lies more appetizing

All your power wrapped up and hypnotizing

We can see right through your cheap disguises

And it's just two steps to the ledge my friend

One more puts you down on the pavement

Sometimes a little action is needed

As you've said many times before
