In this city I confess, (what is the measure of your success')
I am driven to possess, (what is the measure of your success')
Answer no one, let them guess, (what is the measure of your success')
Are you someone I impress' (what is the measure of your success')

I am a big boss with a short fuse; I have a nylon carpet and rubber shoes,
And when I shake hands you get a big shock,
You'll be begging for mercy when the champ is through,
You'd better believe I'll put the clamps on you.

In this city, be assured, (what is the measure of your success')
Some will rise above the herd, (what is the measure of your success')
Feed the fatted, leave the rest, (what is the measure of your success')
This is how we won the west. (what is the measure of your success')

Hit me,
I am a safe-box,
I am the inner sanctum when the door locks,
I own the passkey,
You say you can't take it with you' - We'll see about that, won't we'

Push, push, push,
Push, push, push.

In this city I confess,
God is mammon, more is less,
Off like lemmings at the gun, (what is the measure of your success')
I know better, still I run. (what is the measure of your success')

I am an old man, and the word came,
But you can't buy time on a good name,
Now when the heirs come around like buzzards on a kill,
I see my reflection in their envious eyes,
I'd watch it all burn to buy another sunrise.

Some men find the fire escape, (push, push, push,)
Old men learn it all too late,
Push, push, push the alarm,
Old MacDonald's bought the farm.

What is the measure of your success'
What is the measure of your success'
What is the measure of your success'
What is the measure of your success'
What is the measure of your success'
