Mediocrity


VERSE 1
The Penultimate Warrior, the Over-Giver
Velveteen Limbo, a bunch of chopped liver
The devil’s least favorite demon
B-Team! B-Team! The playing field is even
I will not celebrate or tolerate mediocrity
I will succeed in any meritocracy
I’ll fight forever if that’s what it takes
I’ve got no time for the players and fakes

CHORUS
I’m not here to do my best
I’m here to defeat the rest
I’m not here to lay my ass down
I’m here to take over this town
I’m not here for participation
I’m here to rule this nation
I came to conquer, I shoot to kill
If you won’t step up, then I will

VERSE 2
The world’s eleventh strongest man
The last man standing sitting on his ass
The king of the hill turned into a pawn
The grand wizard with a broken wand
I refuse to go quietly into the night
To compromise what I believe is right
To sink beneath my comfortable sofa
To let mediocrity be my magnum opus

CHORUS
I’m not here to do my best
I’m here to defeat the rest
I’m not here to lay my ass down
I’m here to take over this town
I’m not here for participation
I’m here to rule this nation
I came to conquer, I shoot to kill
If you won’t step up, then I will

BRIDGE
I’ll sleep when I’m dead inside my head
Not a moment sooner than when I bled
Even as a skeleton collecting spider webs
I’ll never give up is what I’ve always said
You don’t get to choose when it’s over for me
You don’t get to micromanage or oversee
Keep talking shit and you’ll always be wrong
No matter how much you say or for how long

CHORUS
I’m not here to do my best
I’m here to defeat the rest
I’m not here to lay my ass down
I’m here to take over this town
I’m not here for participation
I’m here to rule this nation
I came to conquer, I shoot to kill
If you won’t step up, then I will
