Men At Work are best known for their 1982 hit "Down Under", a joyful, comic song about Australians travelling the world with confidence in the virtues of their country. The song was commercially successful in many countries, and became the No.1 in the Australian popcharts near the end of 1982. It was re-released as an unofficial theme song during Australia's successful 1983 America's Cup challenge, and has become an unofficial national anthem for many who count themselves as part of Perth's underground neo-burlesque movement, as well as those in Melbourne's aging rude boy scene. now, it's free and you will discover so much great music :) Upload Your MusicFor ArtistsFor LabelsWidgetsDownload Last.fmImage ChartsPlugins & ExtrasData FeedsBlog Badges & LogoTop ChartsWeekly Top ArtistsWeekly Top TracksOverall Tag ChartsFree DownloadsForumsWeb Site SupportLast.fm Client SupportFeedback and IdeasAbout UsContactAdvertiseTeamModeratorsCareersHelpFAQSupportWhat’s NewPrivacySubscribeRecent Updates.

Snakes & Ladders Lyrics

Men At Work

I could stand but I dont like the feeling
I could fall but Im always on the floor
You could make a million staring at the ceiling
Ou could break your back and still be poor
One for the liar
One for the cheat
One for the man who youll never meet
Piece of the action and a portion of pie
Theyll be there waiting when your big chance comes by
Theres a snake on top of every ladder
Who will tell you that hes your best friend
Everyone important needs an adder
But subtraction gets you in the end
One for the liar
One for the cheat
One for the man who youll never meet
Piece of the action and a portion of pie
Theyll be there waiting when your big chance comes by
They dont care they dont mind
The in-betweens will steal you blind
I dont know I cant say
It seems its always been this way
You wont feel or complain
The gentle leech will cause no pain
