A world of corridors corporate finance There's a party somewhere, I'm not invited so I don't care It's the law of the jungle the mantra they chant Alpha males and their sycophants And you've got a date with a stranger who flirts with danger But your ex wife has just taken your alibi She stood you up she arranged all of this She gave me a job and she paid for it She's free with her charms when she wants something It's just her revenge you will understand It's just Revenge you understand just snakes and ladders She gave me your password and copied your keys Gave me instructions what she wanted from me Make it appear that he stole from the company She gave me the details of all the accounts Transfer a million into his bank Send it around before it comes back Make it appear like he's covered his tracks Well that's all pretty easy one simple hack She's free with her charms when she wants something It's just her revenge you will understand Just Revenge you understand just snakes and ladders I'll make it disappear then re-appear in a week Into his account and then transfer it out And steal it for myself, just because I can That's not the deal but she'll understand … she has no alibi either, she stood him up And by the time they question her I'll be long gone She don't know but I remember him He was a bully at school and there were many victims I was a geek, a computer freak, he'd take my things both him and his friends I never dreamed I never thought I'd ever get the chance To exact some revenge for the trouble he caused and serve it up cold for all the hurt and the pain and the cigarette burns all your karma returns When people are scared they never speak Deny what you've done and lie through your teeth We were just having fun didn't mean no harm We're going to get you for this you miserable worm She's free with her charms when she wants something It's just her revenge you will understand Just Revenge you understand just snakes and ladders She's free with her charms when she wants something It's just her revenge you will understand Just Revenge you understand just snakes and ladders So I leave the office down the stairs and into the street Now I've got a date and a place to meet She'll show her appreciation in the usual way, she don't love me but that's ok She's got her eye on another man She's gonna marry him as soon as she can He's very very rich and a bit older than her He knows her sort the money grabbing whore and he don't care, well what's money for and why not She's a beautiful women and she'll do what he wants, for the money he's got Just snakes and ladders slip and slide, a throw of a dice Well it's time to be gone so I'll say Goodbye
