This is not the way it's   Supposed to be      Spend my day in fear of all   It sets me free      I beg your pardon   For what I do and say   I can hold myself to blame   But the sure remains the same      Will success fail me?    Will it make me free?    What they tell me I should want?    Is it what I need?       Hey mom, hey dad   The story went   Round the burning wheels of faith   It pays the rent      Hey sister, hey brother   I had to choose   Choose between the win and lose   But what's the use?       Will success fail me?    Will it make me free?    What they tell me I should want?    Is it what I need?       Come march come april   Come may and june   Let the pounding seconds go   There's nothing I can do      Will success fail me?    Will it make me free?    What they tell me I should want?    Is it what I need? (x 2)      Is there something I can do?
