What Is the Measure of Your Success |
| In this city I confess |
| I am driven to possess |
| Answer no one, let them guess |
| Are you someone I impress? |
| I am a big boss with a short fuse |
| I have a nylon carpet and rubber shoes |
| And when I shake hands, you’ll get a big shock |
| You’ll be begging for mercy when the champ is through |
| You better believe I’ll put my clamps on you |
| In this city, be assured |
| Some will rise above the herd |
| Feed the fatted, leave the rest |
| This is how we won the west |
| I am a safebox, I am the inner sanctum when the door locks |
| I hold the passkey |
| You say you can’t take it with you? |
| We’ll see about that won’t we? |
| Push… push… push |
| In the city, I confess |
| God is mammon, more is less |
| Off like lemmings at the gun |
| I know better, still I run |
| I am an old man |
| And the word came |
| But you can’t buy time or a good name |
| Now when the heirs come around |
| Like buzzards on a kill |
| I see my reflection in their envious eyes |
| I’d watch it all burn to buy another sunrise |
| Some men find the fire escape |
| Old men learn it all too late |
| Push… push… push the alarm |
| Old MacDonald’s bought the farm |
