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
|
