lyrics
Tonight we’ll feast on the elbow grease, and
We’ll wash it down with the blood, sweat, and tears
Of our representees
Who slave on hands and knees
And work away the years, just trying to make ends meet
Singing, “There has to be an easier way”
The royalty dances with finances
While their apathy carries the tune
Singing, “Capitalize on the capital
Eyes wide, eyeing dollar signs”
The rich are getting richer
And the poor are getting sicker
And oh, we’ll watch them wither
Oh, we’ll watch them wither away
This famine is fake
This plague is staged
And we don’t have to take this lying down
We’re up in arms, we’re going to take those bastards out
We have the manpower
We have the motive
We have the resources
We have the element of surprise
Those men are backstabbers
They’ll sell our souls for gold
We are the revolution
And this is our call to arms
We’ll wash it down with the blood, sweat, and tears
Of our representees
Who slave on hands and knees
And work away the years, just trying to make ends meet
Singing, “There has to be an easier way”
The royalty dances with finances
While their apathy carries the tune
Singing, “Capitalize on the capital
Eyes wide, eyeing dollar signs”
The rich are getting richer
And the poor are getting sicker
And oh, we’ll watch them wither
Oh, we’ll watch them wither away
This famine is fake
This plague is staged
And we don’t have to take this lying down
We’re up in arms, we’re going to take those bastards out
We have the manpower
We have the motive
We have the resources
We have the element of surprise
Those men are backstabbers
They’ll sell our souls for gold
We are the revolution
And this is our call to arms

about
Rope and Ladder Boston, Massachusetts
Rope and Ladder is the band and rock opera created by Jay Clark and Ryan Dolen.
The project has
been more than 10 years in the making—in that time, Jay and Ryan pieced together a narrative of epic scope steeped in intrigues of war, love, and betrayal.
The album balances delicate piano against distorted guitars, driving the palpable tension that accompanies the rising stakes of the plotline.
