Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Jacob's Ladder (Not In My Name)

Performed by Chumbawamba

Jacob's ladder

Like the Sermon on the mountain

Says the dumber got dumb

Hellfire and brimstone

Swapped for oil and guns

When we're pushing up daisies

We all look the same

In the name of the Father, maybe

But not in my name

On this Jacob's ladder

The only way up is down

One step from disaster

Two to make the higher ground

Jacob's ladder

And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain

And they sent him to the wars to be slain

A million lifetimes

Left dying in the sun

In the streets down in Whitehall

Dogs pickin' at the bones

Nine-eleven got branded

Nine-eleven got sold

And there'll be no one left to water

All the seeds you sow

On this Jacob's ladder

The only way up is down

One step from disaster

To to make the higher ground

Jacob's ladder

And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain

And they sent him to the wars to be slain

And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain

And they sent him to the wars to be slain

On this Jacob's ladder

The only way up is down

One step from disaster

Two to make the higher ground

On this Jacob's ladder

The only way up is down

One step from disaster

Two to make the higher ground

Jacob's ladder

Puppy dog leader

Sooner or later

We'll dig up your cellar

And try you for murder

Puppy dog leader

Sooner or later

We'll dig up your cellar

And try you for murder

Jacob's ladder

Puppy dog leader

Sooner or later

We'll dig up your cellar

And try you for murder

Jacob's ladder
