lyrics

when i first meet you, i won't give you the time of day
but if i find you useful then i'll rub you the other way
you see, i'll only pay attention if i can double my returns
that way we'll keep things cost-effective
yeah, let's keep things cost-effective
oh and i don't care about your feelings for me
as long as i am entertained
so come on and entertain me
come on and entertain me
i'm gonna be successful...

i'm gonna be successful in this world (woah oh)
put my thumb on all the boys and girls (woah oh)
everyone will love me and i'll pretend to love them too
i'm gonna be successful in this world

i'll jump on the bandwagon and feed off of your ideals
get up on my soapbox and then you'll see how it feels
you'll be the quack who takes the flack and i'll just watch my back
that way we'll keep things cost-effective
yeah, let's keep things cost-effective
oh, and i don't care about your visions or epiphanies
as long as crowds are prostrate, and they're bowing down to me
bowing down to me
i'm gonna be successful...

i'm gonna be successful in this world (woah oh)
put my thumb on all the boys and girls (woah oh)
everyone will love me, and i'll pretend to love them too
i'm gonna be successful in this world

gonna outsource my jobs to the cheapest employees
to non-citizens and automatons
i'll lay off anyone i have to
that way we'll keep things cost-effective
yeah, let's keep things cost-effective

oh, and i don't care about your local economy
as long as i can get my hands on a near monopoly
a near monopoly
i'm gonna be successful...

i'm gonna be successful in this world (woah oh)
put my thumb on all the boys and girls (woah oh)
everyone will love me, and i'll have all their money
i'm gonna be successful in this
i'm gonna be successful in this
i'm gonna be successful in this world

about

Ephemeral Temple St. Louis, Missouri

Particles dance their way from dust and water to the warmth of living patterns finding their way to a cricket's fiddle or a cat's eye or an artist's hand. These are brief but magnificent phenomenons; infinite beauty passing through temporal forms. Life is mysterious and worthy of being asked questions. ... more
