Success - Linda Perry

This is not the way it’s

Supposed to be

Spend my day in fear of all

It sets me free

I beg your pardon

For what I do and say

I can hold myself to blame

But the sure remains the same

Will success fail me?

Will it make me free?

What they tell me I should want?

Is it what I need?

Hey Mom, Hey Dad

The story went

Round the burning wheels of faith

It pays the rent

Hey sister, hey brother

I had to choose

Choose between the win and lose

But what’s the use?

Will success fail me?

Will it make me free?

What they tell me I should want?

Is it what I need?

Come March come April

Come may and June

Let the pounding seconds go

There’s nothing I can do

Will success fail me?

Will it make me free?

What they tell me I should want?

Is it what I need?

(x 2)

Is there something I can do?
