lyrics

Too Many Snakes

Too Many Snakes, not enough ladders
Gossip mongers should be working for the tabloids

Too Many Snakes, not enough ladders
Built on Innuendo and backstabbing

----

Too Many Snakes, not enough trust
It eats me up from the inside

Too Many Snakes, not enough ladders
They're all politicking for supremacy

----

Too Many Snakes, not enough trust
You want me to work overtime… for what?

Too Many Snakes, not enough ladders
The opportunity you were meant to provide,
Still slipped us into the abyss

----

Too Many Snakes, Too Many Snakes, Too Many Snakes

Come on little snake, say it to my face …

Say it to my face!
