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 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, higher, faster
I refuse to participate
If I go up, it will be slow
I'm bringing everyone I know
And stopping on the sixth or seventh rung

On a pedestal
Isn't the view great?
You better watch your step
'Cause it's a nasty fall
When there's no one to catch you when you call
