Three Steps Forward Songtext
von The Strike

And do your limbs feel weak
As your empire falls?
Did the roof crash down
Around your glass house walls?
Like a king you sat upon a hardwood throne
Nothing uproots you now
You had us all bow down to your guts of green
To the lure of wealth coming from our screams
With your money spent to keep us lenient
Nothing can save you now
And it′s just two steps to the ledge my friend
One more puts you down on the pavement
Sometimes a little action is needed
As you've said many times before
You could get sold on the tortured souls
Of the young and old
Could you be so bold to hope we forget all your bloody debts
In the name of our mighty wealth?
I know that it seems harsh that you pay for your crimes


But you didn′t care when we did the time
So we'll send you to visit every mom you cut
I'm afraid it′s the bottom line
And it′s just two steps to the ledge my friend
One more puts you down on the pavement
Sometimes a little action is needed
As you've said many times before
And it′s just two steps to the ledge my friend
One more puts you down on the pavement
Sometimes a little action is needed
As you've said many times before
Patience doesn′t make a man much wiser
It gives him time to make his lies more appetizing
All your power wrapped up and hypnotizing
We can see right through your cheap disguises
And it's just two steps to the ledge my friend
One more puts you down on the pavement
Sometimes a little action is needed
As you′ve said many times before
