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 $#&@ing face
