"Your Ambition"

Well you showed the right amount of contrition

And waited for the heat to die down

And then you ignored the naysayers

And remembered: always think positive

 

But something changed while you weren’t paying attention

Other people had arrangements to make 

The formula came crashing down on you

And you forgot to find a way to adjust 

 

Well you’re sick of sitting around waiting

For the world to come by and

You take the buds out your ears and

The screen from in front of your face

 

These sure things

Are a product of the old school of thought

All these sure things

Can be discarded when you get away from these yokels

 

Fill your ambition out

Fill your ambition out

Fill your ambition out

Fill your ambition out

Lay your ambition down

Set your ambition out

Fill your ambition out

Fill your ambition out

 

Fill your ambition out

Lay your ambition down

Set your ambition down

Fill your ambition out

Fill your ambition out

Let your ambition down

Let your ambition out

Set your ambition down 

Fill your ambition out
