 Lyrics/Song Structure:
 ---> Play Riff 1
 ---> Play Riff 1 over:
 I used to have this idea
 That winning a silver medal could set me free
 Oh but you know that I really don't need cash or fame or credit
 Or a big fat bank account with no debit
 So just set me straight
 Cause eating a piece of mind just can't wait
 ---> Play Riff 2 over:
 I'm sending a telegram that's urgent, urgent
 I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
 ---> Play Riff 3 over:
 I'm going to read it if it kills me
 Cause this ain't much better anyway
 ---> Play Riff 2 over:
 Just push it away
 Push it away
 Just push it away
 Push it away
 ---> Play Riff 1
 ---> Play Riff 1 over:
 Oh success, that elusive brainchild of greed
 Something you want not need, basic 'cause
 Money can't buy true friendship or trust
 ??? no substitute for love ??? check it out
 ---> Play Riff 2 over:
 I'm sending a telegram that's urgent, urgent
 I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
 ---> Play Riff 3 over:
 I'm going to read it if it kills me
 Cause this ain't much better anyway
 ---> Play Riff 2 over:
 Just push it away
 Push it away
 Just push it away
 Push it away
 ---> Play Ending
