I really like the cynical message with this one. Sad but true.

wonderfully poignant lyrics. we really have a warped sense of priorities in life fueld I guess by social media pressure/intellectual laziness/the death of respect and empathy..time to somehow get back to basics

Really great lyrics and nice job singing them Coral😊 loved the piano melody towards the end!

J'adore cette chanson, l'aspect un peu mélancolique, c'est bien trouvé.

Original song by Coral. A song about the illusion of a social ladder.

Cover art by Coral (inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat)

Climbing a step you’re on your knees
You hold on a corpse you crush its skull
And you believe, you’re innocent

Holding your breath you compliment
The ones that you hate you lick their feet
And you believe, you’re innocent

You see them all rats so meaningless
The folk that you praised to gain their votes
And still you climb, your pride is high

All what you have what they don’t have
You stuff with some treat till you can’t eat
But still you climb, your pride is high

You know that your time is money worth
You rest on your slave who cleans your mess
And you believe, you’re satisfied

The prize you deserve is what you see
No nut for the ape who’s begging you
And you believe, you’re satisfied

The first time you meet you put a tag
No high school degree this dude is dull
And you believe, you reached a top

You act like you were the finest breed
Your god is the one and only one
And you believe you reached a top
And you believe

It seem like a crown it’s shinning gold
It suits to your head you’re feeling proud
Still you believe, you reached a top

(but) There ain’t any class or any mount
There ain’t any social ladder too
Still you believe, you are on top 
Still you believe…
(you’re innocent)
