Ambition lyrics

I've been a movie star

Confused by the film

A plot too complicated for me

Played the policeman

'Cause he knows the drill

He's got to beat the competition away

Ambition, oh so dirty

Keep smiling, and know that they'll never know

Ambition ain't so pretty

That knocking'll open up another door

I've got the cravin'

And you've got it too

It's just an old fashioned kind of position

Sweet aspiration

There's no more time

What's the sense in hanging on when you ain't mine

Give me attention

Be my divine

We may be different creatures but we're pink inside

I am a moving car

With wishes for wheels

Driving at the speed of dissention

How you're connected

Is how you can feel

What accomplishment can do for contention

Ambition, oh so dirty

Keep smiling, and know that they'll never know

Ambition ain't so pretty

That knocking'll open up another door

I've climbed to heaven

And you'll be there too

It's just an old timer incarceration

Grey night oppression

What do you say

When you look the other way it ain't me

Give me attention

Be my divine

We may be different creatures but we're pink inside
