Dead Moon - Social Contender lyrics

rate me

Logically appraise the situation

Sizing-up the ones who'll do you good

Realize it's not merely position

That gets you to the top that's understood

(chorus)

You can't live with yourself

So live off someone else

You say your one of us

But you're really one of them

So don't pretend - social contender

This rule by ladders hazardous ascent

Your path is strewn with others who have bent

Ambition hides from view those who are falling

Convince yourself you'll not be like those crawling

Laughing in the face of their distress

Believing they're impressed with your success

You'll find out the street you travel narrows

Poisoned by the edge of social arrows

Social contender, social pretender, social defender
