SUCCESS

Lyrics and music by Winston Apple
One - Make a whole lotta money
Two - Make sure it shows
Spend it in a way that lets everybody know (You’re a big success)

You’ve been climbing the ladder, now you’ve made it to the top
And still you keep on climbing, striving
You’re never satisfied with everything you’ve got (You’re a big success)

Has it made you happy?  (Success)  
Has it set you free?  (Success)
Is the fortune that you’ve made worth the price you paid 
(You’re a big success)
Is it all you expected (Success) 
And hoped it would be?  (Success)
Or are you suffering from the stress that comes with your kind of success?
               
You’ve stabbed a few friends in the back on your way up
You’ve cooked the books, yeah, you’ve made some crooked deals
But you’ve convinced yourself you only did what you had to do
You’re not a crook, no, it’s not really stealing (You’re a big success)

Has it made you happy?  (Success) . . . .

You’ve got everything that money can buy
You’ve got more money than you could ever spend
And yet you keep on driving yourself harder and harder
I can you tell you where this story often ends
You’re on the fast track to a heart-attack

I’ve seen people living in shanty towns
Surrounded by their children, laughing as they play
Never letting what they don’t own get in the way of their happiness
They are truly blessed, now that’s success 

One - Fill your heart with Love
Two - Let your Love Light shine
Share your love spread some happiness - now that’s success
