Antlah - Pull the Ladder Up, Jack! Lyrics

You're swimming downstream
Toward the mainstream
Forget your daydream
'Cause you'll never be free of the trouble you've seen

You got your new life
Your cushy cool life
Forget your old life
Free of your make-believe smoke machine now

I know you've got a plan, admit it
But you're never gonna go and commit it
Into your busy day, if only that were okay

Submit to regime
'Cause you're on our team
We got our own scheme
'Cause people like you and me are few and far between

It's a new union
For you and your own
The ladder's up now
And it doesn't really matter to you if we all fall down

I know you've got a plan, admit it
But you're never gonna go and commit it
Into your busy day, if only that were okay

You never told me war was fair
So go ahead, turn the other arse-cheek
And prove to them that you just couldn't care less
I got mine, you'll get yours some other time

I know you've got a plan, admit it
So when you gonna go and commit it?
You never find the time to fit it
Into your busy day

If you only had the balls to do it
You waited too long and you blew it
And you're never gonna make it through it
Now

They say there isn't too much to it
And patience is a virtue
Do you really think they'll help you
To join the lucky rich few?
So bite the hand that feeds you now
