The Only Way To Be

(album: Modified - 1999)

Hello Everybody
Guess what I just found
Another wannabe, somebody
Gonna' sell their body pound for pound
Gonna' be a big star
If they can get the chance
But it takes more than talent
In this high priced world if you want a little song and dance

Do you like what you see?
To live this life of luxury?
No cares, no dignity
It's all about the money
It's the only way to be

Here's another person
Who's a little worse for wear
Tried to live that life so fast
Tried to live without a care
But fame can be a fickle friend
Who makes you feel quite tall
And when your empire starts to crumble,
It can push you for a fall

Do you like what you see?
To live this life of luxury?
No friends, just enemies
It's all about the money
It's the only way to be

If this is what you wanted
And everything you need
Then be quite prepared, my friend
For the life you choose to lead
Cuz' fame has many faces
For each of us to see
Bu the wise man is the one who knows that
You should never believe

Do you like what you see?
To live this life of luxury?
No cares. No dignity
It's all about the money
It's the perfect way to be.
