Escalators Songtext

From town to town he came
To build his wealth he'd buy them out
Just build the biggest one
Then all the smaller ones come down

We lived the golden age
1909, 1909
Much money to be made
Monopolize, monopolize

Ford you're so deserving of the place you're in
Escalating down in rows
Ford your soul was conscious of the path you chose
Here's proof that somebody knows

On a wooden stage he speaks
Eloquently about his feats
To sweating simple folk
But in the middle of his speech
An opposition screams
A man of one, a man of one
His threat was well received
And so he hung and so he hung

And now it's all vs. one it's all vs. one

Ford you're so deserving of the place you're in
Escalating down in rows
Ford your soul was conscious of the path you chose
Here's proof that somebody knows

And you can call oh brother call
Yes you can call oh brother call
No one can hear you not at all
But you can call oh brother call

And you can call oh brother call
(Floating down escalators, Your eyes are green, your heart is black)
Yes you can call oh brother call
(You've done some ugly things, now it's too late to take them back)
No one can hear you not at all
(Just money mongers here, who never filled their karma cups)
But you can call oh brother call
(Now death has brought them here, and this room in hell is filling up)

We give you death by '45
It's what we call your last time out, your last time out
By '45
It's what we call you last time out

Ford you're so deserving of the place you're in
Escalating down in rows
Ford your soul was conscious of the path you chose
Here's proof that somebody knows

We give you death by '45
It's what we call your last time out, your last time out
By '45
It's what we call your last time out, your last time out
