macaque's lyrics are closest although one thing is that, the first line of the last four verses is this, "up on the ladder out of time to escape" or possibly it is as screenvalue writes it. In any case you are missing those lyrics.
I do feel that it is possilby about Tony Blair, or perhaps is more general towards a few of the worlds current leaders which all appear to be puppets. The ladder is what they had to climb to get where they are today(in power). Now that they are where they wanted to be, it seems useless, and they perhaps feel powerless just puppets. All people on the ladder are the fucking same, they are all disconnected from the people.
