Watch them dance at the drop of a hat
Do they still believe that this world is flat
Open your hearts and give us your gold
March to the tune if you want to grow old

You play Snakes and Ladders
Forget all that matters
I'm in tears and shattered over nothing
One rung higher than you
Two rungs lower than him
I play Snakes and Ladders too

You cause pain where e'er you tread
They're served sand but you eat bread
Scurry rats, leave the sinking ship
They want no part of your death trip

You play Snakes and Ladders
Forget all that matters
I'm in rags and tatters over nothing
One step forward from you
Two steps backwards
Now we all play Snakes and Ladde
