Lyrics[]
On Jacob's ladder with an angel up my back
He says he never thought that Russia would be first to attack
It doesn't matter, not worth the chatter
It doesn't matter, now we're all dead
Now we're all dead, now we're all all all all all
On Jacob's ladder with an angel up in front
He says America should never put 'em up to such a stunt
It doesn't matter, not worth the chatter
It doesn't matter, now we're all dead
Now we're all dead, now we're all all all all all
On Jacob's ladder, Albert Einstein to my left
I think he's crying at the way we have misused his gift
It doesn't matter, not worth the chatter
It doesn't matter, now we're all dead
Now we're all dead, now we're all dead
Now we all dead, now we all dead
When you get to heaven will you be pardoned?
Do you think he'll shake your hand and say 'thank you'
for spoiling the garden?
On Jacob's ladder with a shopping basket in my hand
Picking the mushrooms that are sprouting up across our green land
It doesn't matter, mad as a hatter
Oh it doesn't matter, now we all dead
Now we're all dead, now we're all all all all all
On Jacob's ladder, [shouldn't be here yet....... steady]
How can we talk to politicians who seem dead already?
It doesn't matter, not worth the chatter
Oh it doesn't matter, now we all dead
Now we're all dead, now we're all all all all all
On Jacob's ladder....
It doesn't matter....
Now we're all dead, now we're all dead...
