Success Lyrics - 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?
