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
