Allen Toussaint - What Is Success

Текст песни

How does one decide
That the methods he’s using, they just won’t jive
Truly believing and trying over and over again
Living in hopes that someday you’ll be in with the winners
When should one change his mind
(Change his mind, change his mind)
And jump the fence, oh Lord, for the dollar sign (dollar sign)
It’s a sad thing, it’s a bad thing, but so necessary
That this cold world holds your values to become monetary
Now what, what, what, what is success
Is it doing your thing or do you join the rest
Oh, If you truly believe should you try over and over again
And live in hopes that someday you’ll be in with the winners
Repeat first verse with small change
How does one decide
That the tactics he’s using, they just won’t jive
Truly believing and trying over and over again
Living in hopes that someday you’ll be in with the winners
Oh Lord, oh Lord
