I'll pull it from under you
When you least expect
When you have it all
On top of the ladder
You left us behind
You left me behind
Don't think I'm envious
I'm not envious
The higher you climb
The faster you fall
We were makers
We were the thinkers
You stole our jewels
And built them your crown
Don't think I'm envious
I'm not envious
The higher your climb
The faster your fall
Don't think I'm envious
How many did you pull down
The higher you climb
The faster you fall
And don't be too surprised
When you retire
My little green demon
Deletes your pension
