Ambition Lyrics

Teenage dazed by the mirror
Mind into the song
You saw your hero do on TV
In your eyes he does no wrong
Go to school and drift to college
It seemed the thing to do
Try to make you mister average
Or someone that's not you
Will you take the step
Or make your mother proud of you?

Out of incubation
Into a world with different views
In sixteen years enclosed in another womb
Reborn in something new
What's it like on the outside now
Would you ever find your feet?
Suddenly you realise
It's hard to earn your keep
Did you look like this
Did you really act this way?

Ambition got a hold of you
Ambition got a hold of you
Ambition got a hold of you
And you'll be there at any price you pay

Working hard for losses
Accept them for success
You're growing all the more determined
To rise above the rest
Disregard the views of others
You used to call your friends
What do they know anyway
They think like married men
And they can't see the thing inside of you

Ambition got a hold of you
Ambition got a hold of you
Ambition got a hold of you
And you'll be there at any price you pay

More of the machinery
Another buckle will accept
You like to think you're different
You like to think you're real
But are you just another puppet
Believing your own lies?
Chanting slogans without meaning
And holding your fist high
Do you really think you're gonna change the world?

Ambition got a hold of you
Ambition got a hold of you
Ambition got a hold of you
And you'll be there at any price you pay
