Social Contender Lyrics - Dead Moon

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 

You can't live with yourself 

So live off someone else 

You say you're 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
