The Big Ones Get Away Lyrics - Coincidence And Likely Stories - Buffy Sainte-marie

Hey, Baby I just got back from town 

Where the bribes are paid 

Honey, they turned my offer down 

They say the deal's already made 

So now I gotta stand and watch 

While it all comes down 

And the buzzards and the hawks 

And the judges and the mob 

Circle round 

Now if I were the queen of all the world 

I would go in chains just to see you free 

Of the ropes that bind you 

And the role you play 

And the pride that hooks you 

While the big ones get away

Love junkies wanna change the world: 

It quickly stays the same 

Money junkies hire all the smart ones 

Power junkies run the game 

One step at a time 

Polarity Hill 

If the bad guys don't get you, baby 

Then the good guys will 

With angels on the take 

And the gangsters in the yard 

Hey don't the wars come easy 

Hey don't the peace come hard

Now if I had a way to reach the sky 

I'd grab that crescent moon 

Wield it like a knife 

Save you from the lies 

From the ropes that bind you 

And the role you play 

And the game that hooks you 

While the big ones get away
