Lyrics
What Is Success?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can live my life without money of fame
I won’t take part in society’s game
I can see the rich looking down on the poor
Their heads up high like they’re something more
What is success?
You look at me,
And don’t second-guess
What is success?
Immediately think
That I’m a mess
Fulfill the dreams of your mom and dad
Distorting the image of the past they’ve had
They look good with your success
Taking all the credit for your life’s progress
What is success?
You look at me,
And don’t second-guess
What is success?
Immediately think
That I’m a mess
They seem to know what is best for you
And every direction you would like to pursue
You try to put them back in place
Now they are up in your fucking face
