A B G A repeat
Barefooted could've beens
Playin' snakes and ladders climbin' up the walk
Welcome him inside and you watch their words collide as they try to talk
Show them the door to the cold star chamber
They say "After you"
Then they all take turns wavin' flags
Playin' mastermind, held by a thumb screw
