Over then Under

I climb the ladder
With Sisyphus efficiency
A stupid fish
A lifeless sea

Lifetimes wasted
Just to get ahead
A vain pursuit
The Joneses just end up dead

Useless monotony
Silent cacophony

Fitzcaraldo
Wicked monopoly

How long must I
Turn these tables
Break bread at the bottom
Kiss ass at the top
Phony hands extend
I want it to stop
From to top to bottom
Bottom to top

Boulder runs over
A Narrow escape
Fall down another rung
We climb back up
The ladder it flips
Ain't no way stop
Over then under
We drop

Idle hands
Devil's plaything
Fell down the hole
And Ended up in chains

How long must I
Turn these tables
Break bread at the bottom
Kiss ass at the top
Phony hands extend
I want it to stop
From to top to bottom
Bottom to top

Boulder runs over
No way to escape
Fall down another rung
And then we're replaced
The ladder it breaks
Ain't no way stop
Over then under
We drop

I climb the ladder
With Sisyphus efficiency
A stupid fish
A lifeless sea

Lifetimes wasted
Just to get ahead
A vain pursuit
We all just end up dead
