I will never feel the ribbon break I will never taste sweet victory I don't want to leave the rest behind I don't want inscription on a plaque
Never first or second place I won't ever run your rat race I will always be lower than you I won't be your competition Lowest totem pole position Is where I'd rather stay than be like you
I don't feel the animal instinct I am not on top of the food chain The only battle I will fiercely fight Is one that hibernates inside my head
Be the best, climb the ladder Do it better, higher, faster I refuse to participate If I go up, it will be slow I'm bringing everyone I know And stopping on the sixth or seventh rung
On a pedestal Isn't the view great? You better watch your step 'Cause it's a nasty fall When there's no one to catch you when you call
