Lyrics

Lower

I will never feel the ribbon break

I will never taste sweet victory

I don't want to leave the rest behind

I don't want inscription on a plaque

Never first or second place

I won't ever run your rat race

I will always be lower than you

I won't be your competition, lowest

Totem pole possition 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, higher, faster

I refuse to participate

If I go up it will be slow

Im bringing everyone I know

Stopping on the sixth or seventh rung

On a pedestal, isn't the view great

You better watch your step, cause it's nasty fall

When there's no one to catch you when you call
