Lighthouse Audio - Snakes & Ladders Lyrics

Working in a cubicle, sixty hours a week
Johnny is a workaholic, driven to succeed
Running on a treadmill, inside a sweaty gym
Jenny lives on runner's high and adrenaline

She cannot lose the calories, no matter what she tries
Susie is a food junkie; loves her sugar high
Cafes are his temple, worshipping with other addicts
Sammie is reliant on his daily caffeine fix

It's a game of snakes and ladders, life's outta control
Falling low and climbing high, to fill the gaping hole

M...m...m...m...Mama get me my medication
M...m...m...m...Mood altering chemicals
M...m...m...m...Me? I cannot find satisfaction
I wanna feel better about myself

Ali cannot fight the need to feel connected
Her Facebook feed has her hooked, her profile is perfected
Abby like to hit the streets like a shopping queen
Maxing out her credit card for a hit of dopamine

It's a game of snakes and ladders, life's outta control
Falling low and climbing high, to fill the gaping hole

M...m...m...m...Mama get me my medication
M...m...m...m...Mood altering chemicals
M...m...m...m...Me? I cannot find satisfaction
I wanna feel better about myself

We all need a pick-me-up, especially if we're tired
Cappucino and Flat Whites will help to get us wired
Espresso and Long Blacks are legalised narcotics
Don't need nicotine or alcohol to get our kicks
