Sandi Thom Big Ones Get Away Lyrics

Hey baby I just got back from town,
Where the bribes are paid,
Honey they turned my offer down,
Said the deal's already made',
So now I must stand and watch,
While it all falls down,
And the Buzzard's and the Hawk's,
And the Judge's and the Mob,
They circle round,
Oohhh, yeh

Now if I were the Queen of all the world,
I would go in chain's, Just to see you free,
Of the rope's that bind you,
And the role you play,
And the game that hooks you,
While the big ones get away,
Ohwwoh,

Love junkies want to change the world,
(Change the world)
But it quickly stay's the same.
(Stay's the same)
Money junkies want to hire all the smart ones,
Power junkies rule the game,
One step at a time, hilarity hill,
If the bad guy's don't get you, then the good guy's will

Ohwwoh,
With Angel's on the take,
And Gangster's in the yard,
Hey don't the wars come easy,
Don't the peace come hard,
If I had a way,
(If I had a way)
To reach the sky,
(Reach the sky)
I'd grab that crescent moon'
Wheeled it like a Knife,
Save you from the lie's,
And the ropes that bind you,
And the role you play,
And the game that hook, s you,
While the big ones get away, Yeah

Ohwoh,
Love junkies want to change the world,
(Change the world)
But it quickly stay's the same,
(Stay's the same)
Money junkies want to hire all the smart ones,
Power junkies rule the game,
One step at a time, hilarity hill,
If the bad guy's dont get you,
Then the good guy's will.
