Snakes and Ladders

A song I wrote some time back, but am only posting now

Verse 1:

Safe space is a buzzword

Give me a break! 

Five minutes are enough

It's a joke that I ain't buying

With the keep that I get paid

In exchange for my sanity

Five minutes are enough

It's a joke that I ain't buying

With the keep that I get paid

Pre-Chorus:

When everybody is a well dressed brute

You gotta be them or be eaten

Not everyone is paradise is good

Even the serpent was from Eden

What do we do then?

What do we do then?

Chorus:
But when they ask me just what
I still find beautiful in this place
I would say the sun, the blue skies

darling, and the smile upon your face

Yeah when they ask me just what

I still find beautiful in this place

of snakes and ladders
I would say the sun, the blue skies

darling, and the smile upon your face

Verse 2:
Safe space is a buzzword
They were not trained
To lift each other up

It's a joke that I ain't buying

With the keep that I get paid

In exchange for my honesty

Five minutes are enough

It's a joke that I ain't buying

With the keep that I get paid

Pre-Chorus:

When everybody is a well dressed brute

You gotta be them or be eaten

Not everyone is paradise is good

Even the serpent was from Eden

What do we do then?

What do you suppose I'm supposed to do?

Chorus:
When they ask me just what
I still find beautiful in this place
I would say the sun, the blue skies

darling, and the smile upon your face

Yeah when they ask me just what

I still find beautiful in this place

of snakes and ladders
I would say the sun, the blue skies

darling, and the smile upon your face

Final choruses:
Yes I find beautiful in this place

I would say the sun, the blue skies

darling, and the smile upon your face

Yeah when they ask me just what

I still find beautiful in this place

of snakes and ladders

I would say the sun, the blue skies

darling, and the smile upon your face
