Ambition Lyrics by Iggy Pop

Soldier

0

[Verse]
I'm the kind of girl
I want that whole wide world
Nothing more, nothing less
I don't want second best
Oh, but my associates
Why, they're no more than opiates
Always dragging me down
Dash my hopes to the ground
But they must be kidding
Or wishful thinking
Adding fuel to the fire
Of my ambition

[Verse]
I'll make a date
Oh no, I won't be late
And why of course, he'll be there
He'll promise, he'll swear
But all I ever find
Been spun that same old line
It's happened time and time again before
But these things and more
Widen the score
And it's one up for ambition

[Bridge]
I really have a go
You know you've got to hand it to me
I've got a heart of gold
But I'm a wolf in mutton's clothes

[Verse]
Someday my time will come
I'll feel I can't go on
I may not care
Or even know it's there
But then I'll have my fun
So till then, just press on
Don't lose your grip, man
Don't lose ambition
