Snakes And Ladders

A world of corridors corporate finance
There’s a party somewhere, I’m not invited so I don’t care
It’s the law of the jungle the mantra they chant
Alpha males and their sycophants
And you’ve got a date with a stranger who flirts with danger
But your ex wife has just taken your alibi
She stood you up she arranged all of this
She gave me a job and she paid for it

She’s free with her charms when she wants something
It’s just her revenge you will understand
It’s just Revenge you understand just snakes and ladders

She gave me your password and copied your keys
Gave me instructions what she wanted from me
Make it appear that he stole from the company
She gave me the details of all the accounts
Transfer a million into his bank
Send it around before it comes back
Make it appear like he’s covered his tracks
Well that’s all pretty easy one simple hack

She’s free with her charms when she wants something
It’s just her revenge you will understand
Just Revenge you understand just snakes and ladders

I’ll make it disappear then re-appear in a week
Into his account and then transfer it out
And steal it for myself, just because I can
That’s not the deal but she’ll understand … she has no alibi either, she stood him up
And by the time they question her
I’ll be long gone

She don’t know but I remember him
He was a bully at school and there were many victims
I was a geek, a computer freak, he’d take my things both him and his friends

I never dreamed I never thought I’d ever get the chance
To exact some revenge for the trouble he caused
and serve it up cold for all the hurt and the pain
and the cigarette burns all your karma returns
When people are scared they never speak
Deny what you’ve done and lie through your teeth
We were just having fun didn’t mean no harm
We’re going to get you for this you miserable worm

She’s free with her charms when she wants something
It’s just her revenge you will understand
Just Revenge you understand just snakes and ladders
She’s free with her charms when she wants something
It’s just her revenge you will understand
Just Revenge you understand just snakes and ladders

So I leave the office down the stairs and into the street
Now I’ve got a date and a place to meet
She’ll show her appreciation in the usual way, she don’t love me but that’s ok
She’s got her eye on another man
She’s gonna marry him as soon as she can
He’s very very rich and a bit older than her
He knows her sort the money grabbing whore
and he don’t care, well what’s money for
and why not
She’s a beautiful women and she’ll do what he wants, for the money he’s got

Just snakes and ladders slip and slide, a throw of a dice
Well it’s time to be gone so I’ll say Goodbye
