Ladder Of Success Lyrics - Kinks

Now the race has begun 

You are strong and you are young 

It's your choice, it's up to you 

Be good to us and we'll be good to you 

And you will be rewarded for conforming to our plan 

The system will accept you because we understand 

You'll be up there with us on the pinnacle of success 

Winning, climbing on the ladder of success 

Why take less, now you're on the ladder of success 

Now we've reached the end of another school year 

And those of you who are leaving us 

We wish you well in your chosen careers 

I see you got a job with a well established firm 

You'll be earning a 3 pound 10 shillings a week 

Plus luncheon vouchers 

Well my boy it looks as though you're heading 

Straight for the top

Stand in line, join the queue 

Play the game with the right attitude 

Now you played your reputation 

There's so much that you can lose 

What a struggle to get up there 

You've really paid your dues 

Now you're up there with us on the pinnacle of success 

Still you're climbing on the ladder of success 

Now you're up there with us 

Competing with the best 

Winning, climbing on the ladder of success 

On the ladder of success 

Achieving, winning on the ladder of success
