Sure, I have dreams, Like any other other man I want to find love I want to have children I want to be rich I want to rule the world Who wouldn't? But sometimes I wonder If it is all worth it And perhaps it is not For the only misery Worse than that of failure Is the suffering of success So perhaps I self-sabotage Because I fear victory The way most fear defeat And so I am condemned to fail But I wouldn't want it any other way.

Scared of Success
Sure, I have dreams, Like any other other man I want to find love I want to have children I want to be rich I want to rule the world Who wouldn't? But sometimes I wonder If it is all worth it And perhaps it is not For the only misery Worse than that of failure Is the suffering of success So perhaps I self-sabotage Because I fear victory The way most fear defeat And so I am condemned to fail But I wouldn't want it any other way.
