Social Contender - Dead Moon

Logically appraise the situation

Sizing-up the ones wholl do you good

Realize its not merely position

That gets you to the top thats understood

You cant live with yourself

So live off someone else

You say your one of us But youre really one of them

So dont 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 youll not be like those crawling

Laughing in the face of their distress

Believing theyre impressed with your success

Youll find out the street you travel narrows

Poisoned by the edge of social arrows
