What's It All Worth?

from Commie Cowboy by Pink Williams

/

lyrics

So you wanna be a big shot?
Lemme tell ya how it’s done
You think you’re gonna climb the ladder?
You ain’t foolin’ anyone
You wanna reach the top?
Well you wouldn’t be the first
Before we start, I gotta ask
What’s it all worth?

You’re gonna need a lot of money
If you wanna get a shot
It helps if mom and daddy
Have given you a lot
After all, why work for something?
Just inherit it at birth!
But before you take a single check,
What’s it all worth?

How far are you willing to go?
How low will you sink?
If you sell your soul
Will you still feel whole?
What do you think?
From the top, it looks like heaven
But it’s a long way down to earth
I want you to ask yourself,
What’s it all worth?

If you have a taste for glamour
and your sights set on the stars
Fill the part of you that’s empty
with fancy clothes and speedy cars
Do you think that you'll feel something
When you own everything on Earth?
Will it ever be enough?
What’s it all worth?

The road to fame is paved with failure
And fools who died without a dime
But I know a little secret
to save a little time
Cut out the competition
Break their backs and sell their shirts
You might get a little bloody
What’s it all worth?

How far are you willing to go?
How low will you sink?
If you sell your soul
Will you still feel whole?
What do you think?
From the top, it looks like heaven
But it’s a long way down to earth
I want you to ask yourself,
What’s it all worth?
