Choking the Cherry — текст песни (Poe)

Everyone`s creeping up to the money god, putting tongues where they
didn`t ought to be, on stepping stones of human hearts and souls, into
the land of nothing for free.
Well the way that we`re living, is all take and no giving, there`s
nothing to believe in, the loudest mouth will hail the new found way,
to be king for a day.
Everyone`s licking up to the new king pin, trying to get way up with
a smile. Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click, ain`t
my way of living in style.
`Cause the ladder gets longer, and ambition gets stronger, I can`t
satisfy the hunger, that bad old moon has got you in its sway, to be
king for a day.
You`re only here once so you got to get it right. (No time to fuss
and fight.) `Cause life don`t mean much if measured out with someone
else`s plight. (In time you`ll see the light.)
`Cause the way that we`re living, is all take and no giving, there`s
not much to believe in, the loudest mouth will hail the new found way
to be king for a day.
