TV Century 21
We're not happy and we're not sad
We're not crazy but we must be mad
There's snakes at the bottom, snakes at the top
And the ladders all shake and the ladders all rock
And everywhere I look I see
a thousand other fools like me
All clamped down on bended knee
with their eyes shut tight but their hands are free
And everyone is fighting blind
Slashing, biting, wasting time
Up to the bottom and down to the top
Where snakes and ladders never stop
And no one asks the question why
We exist by getting by
We keep playing this crazy game
Where snakes and ladders are all the same
But the man at the top has built a stash
A thin white line of other's cash
But all he sees is blue and green
There are no colours in between
We're the puppets, we're the fools
We're the product, we're the tools
Kick us off, knock us down
Keep us spinning round and round
But I'm a cynic, hypocrite
And I rub my own face in it
And I keep playing this crazy game
Where snakes and ladders are all the same
