I will never feel the ribbon break
I will never taste sweet victory
I don't wanna leave the rest behind
I don't want inscription on a plaque

Never first or second place
I will never run your rat race
I will always be lower than you
I wont be your competition
The lowest totem pole position
Is where I'd rather stay than be like you

I don't feel the animal instinct
I am not on top of the food chain
The only battle I will fiercely fight
Is one that hibernates inside my head

Be the best, climb the ladder, do it better, harder, faster
I refuse to participate
If I go up, it will be slow
I'll bring in every one I know
Stoppin' on the 6th or 7th rung

On a pedistal, isn't the view great?
You better watch your step, 'cuz it's a nasty fall
When there's no one to catch you when you call
