Everyone said
Don't be a fool, son
Live your life you only get one
Don't be living for tomorrow
Tomorrow you will come to know
That life comes once
And you'll know
How quickly it goes
So enjoy it while you can you foolish man
Everyone must be wrong, I thought
I saw the things that money bought
I, Had the will to persevere
And it was surely worth a few good years
'Cause life comes once, and could be
Much sweeter for me
If I only had those things I'd always wanted
So I worked on my own
Worked my fingers to the bone
With a view to improving my position
And the hours of the day
How they quickly swept away
In the fires of my burning ambition
And I never cared about the things I missed along the way
I could always make up for them
When I made it someday
Just a ball of motivation
With a single destination
Never slowing till I got where I was going
Now I'm woking on my own
On my muscles and my bones
With a view to improving their positions
And the hours of the day are just steps along the way
On the long road to improving my condition
And I'm buying things to help me swing
And to help me stand the pace
I'm applying things to help me keep those wrinkles from my face
Just a ball of motivation, with a single destination
Never slowing since I got where I was going
