Ambition
Ambition
To be the best that I can be
is not so easy as you’d think,
for Awkward is my middle name
and cussedness my fav’rite game.
So if I struggle to be good,
my nature turns it to the bad,
and if you think I’m doing well,
I’ll turn around and run like hell.
The problem is that I am cool,
so cool that I must rebel be,
and turn each virtue on its head
and do the opposite instead.
Too cool for school, ignore the rules,
my motto thwarts me ev’rytime.
I can be best but only when
for bad boy’s crown I have a yen.
