Ladder To Heaven Lyrics

Are you trying to build a ladder to heaven?

Going two ways on a one-way street

Are you trying to get a bad reputation?

Been down so long, you're feeling beat, hey

I don't know what it's like being you

But you don't know a damn thing about me

Mr. Man, I ain't listening no more

You don't want my opinion, sit down and shut the door.



Ever think about those fiery arms of death

Both reaching for the sky until they fell?

You can't deal with loss, I guess

Keep on like this, you're going straight to hell

God only knows what you're thinking

The devil knows what you want

Mr. Man, good luck, I'm on the run

Don't bother to chase me - Canada, here I come!



Oh, oh, you're going down, down, down

Nobody gonna save you, nobody gonna stop you

Oh, oh, they put their trust in you

I was just about to do the same

Till you started playing this freedom game.



What makes you think you know everything?

No mind-reader could work your job

It takes all kinds to make a nation

From the well-dressed gent to the half-dead slob, yeah

Which one are you gonna be?

Just another four-letter word like "free"?

Mr. Man, it's down to you now

Don't know what you're gonna do now

You got the power, you got the right

To speak the truth and fight your own fight

But you better lock your door at night

That's all I'm saying.
