lirik lagu momus - the blond beast
what is success?
how is it defined?
with money and with fame
making up a name
making up a mind
and where’s the joy in just
rolling in the stardust
hoping some will stick?
you graft until you’re sick
just to make a quick
buck in the grime
and what happened to you?
you used to look so good
now you’re just a mess
you’ve sacrificed your best
to the insatiable beast
of success
but what is success, really, in the end?
to be stopped and recognised
by people you despise
your imaginary friends
to swagger through
another booked out day
glad to be alive
running to survive
faster and faster away
what happened to you?
you used to be so cool
my boogaloo guru
you had to be the best
for that insatiable beast
called success
and i guess this is all just sour grapes
on my part
but what is my part?
are there ways to fake the joy?
of course there are
prescribed by doctors you trust
packs that punctuate your night
with unnatural delight
undermining everything you are
stuff to fake the rush
that never seems enough
and fades away with time
diminishing returns, a need for self~harm
as you execute the masterplan
and what happened to you?
you used to be my friend
now you’re just a name
a legacy of theft
a name is all that’s left
a victim of the sweet sickness
of success
another idiot lost
on the interminable quest
to be the best
in the blue eyes
of that blond beast
