Meteoric Rise To Mediocrity Lyrics by The Holophonics

Don’t Mess With The Holophonics

2015

[Verse 1]
Sittin' on the couch with you twenties running out
You've got no one left to impress
The landlord won't give it a rest! (got no money!)
Payin' for your rent with your credit card again
It's about as good as it gets
[Chorus]
Who wants to be a success (I don't want it!)
I don't even want second best (I don't need it!)
The only thing I'm successful at (ohhh)
Is making excuses (making excuses)
I don't want to be a success!
[Verse 2]
Getting kind of tired of convincing all your friends
Your life isn't really a mess
Yeah, but the evidence is stacked against you
I've got nothing to say in my defense
[Chorus]
Who wants to be a success (I don't want it!)
I don't even want second best (I don't need it!)
The only thing I'm successful at (ohhh)
Is making excuses (making excuses)
I don't want to be a success!
[Bridge]
I can't remember standing on solid ground
The walls start to close on it when I look around
I don't wanna seem like I don't care anymore
But when failure's all you know
It's time to let go!
[Pre-Chorus]
Of every single choice that I've ever had to make
Starting a band was the best (yeah, right)
[Chorus]
Who wants to be a success (I don't want it!)
I don't even want second best (I don't need it!)
The only thing I'm successful at (ohhh)
Is making excuses (making excuses)
I don't want to be a success!
