Douglas Ray Jaffe - Ladder Of Success

If I'm gonna look like a fool in the stream of the public eye
If I'm gonna be told and paid manipulating others 'til I die
I don't wanna climb your ladder of success
If I have to be someone else for the rest of my life
If I'm gonna be questioning my sacrifices at night
I don't wanna climb your ladder of success
If I'm gonna be a hypocritical heartless rat in the race
If I'm gonna regret being glued down to this plastic place
I don't wanna climb your ladder of success
If I'm gonna wrinkle my face for a money-minded mentality
If I gotta devote my soul to their absurd reality
I don't wanna climb your ladder of success
If I'm gonna have to turn my other cheek from the good Lord up above
If it's gonna destroy communication with the ones I love
I don't wanna climb your ladder of success
If I'm gonna be denied my freedom, deceived by some phony dream
If I'm gonna be controlled by opinions from some outdated machines
I don't wanna climb your ladder of success
If we're gonna treat each other like animals who've lost all hope
If we're gonna let the fear of money scare us 'til we can't even cope
I don't wanna climb your ladder of success
