Verse 1 Hit you with the lines Youve heard this all before But you chose to ignore

The blatant declaration A scripted recitation Inside The lies

Verse 2 You can lead the way Do you what you intend Or do whats expected of you Dont fret cause even if you end belly up Who defines your own dignity?

Chorus 1 We all need Short-term ambitions Get some commissions To stow away Baby youre Short-term ambition Now use some long-term wisdom To stay away

Verse 3

If you dont know by now Maybe its time To stop painting yourself In these corners of the world That you carry by the straps Oh the weight can be too much For your sorrow

Chorus 2 We all need Short-term ambitions Get some commissions To stow away Baby youre Short-term ambition Now use some long-term wisdom To stay away

Bridge Now you let it all in And you let your guard down Its like youve been pinched on the back of your neck And picked up by a simple thread

Chorus 2 We all need

Short-term ambitions Get some commissions To stow away Baby youre Short-term ambition Now use some long-term wisdom To stay away from here
