We get down and out a bunch of times
It's hard to make ends meet
It's a rich man's world, so much amiss
Bow to fame and popularity
They told us to stay down
You know we built up their town
With no credibility
When we were ordered around
We put our hands to the ground
Strength to strength we fought to be free
They keep their egos so sky high
They make their promises, oh what lies
Ohh, Ohh
You take a fall they get political
They'll take you down if they have to, you're invisible
Ohh, Ohh
To them you're just a Stepladder to conquer the world
They favor the beautiful and the fools
They take them for a high class ride
Once you've served your purpose off you go
Life moves on, they don't need you back
Then you put in your best, you try to move ahead
They make it hard to be alright
They say we're fooling around
They cut our finances down
They make you stay and work overtime
They keep their egos so sky high
They make their promises, oh what lies
Ohhh, Ohhh
You take a fall, they get political
They'll take you down if they have to, you're invisible
Ohh, Ohh
To them you're just a Stepladder to conquer the world
So you thought you would have it easy
You thought you would have it smooth
It's all a ruse to break you down
To make you fall down again
So you fight back all over again
They keep their egos so sky high
They make their promises, oh what lies
Ohh, Ohh
You take a fall they get political
They'll take you down if they have to, you're invisible
Ohh, Ohh
To them you're just a Stepladder to conquer the world
