Lyrics
Proud To Fail
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.
What's your definition of success?
And is it measured in the things that we possess?
What price must we pay to be a respected citizen?
Work ourselves into the grave simply to gain acceptance from
a society that keeps on -
Rewarding greed with respect,
Well that's something that I don't need.
I prefer to spend my life doing what I want; not what I'm told,
And I don't want to spend my whole life making someone else's wealth.
And I don't need acceptance from the people who just keep on -
Rewarding greed with respect,
Well that's something that I don't need.
What's your definition of success?
And is it measured in the things that we possess?
It makes sense to keep the workforce poor.
Keep us on our knees and perpetuate belief -
That we all need more.
What's your definition of success?
