UP YOURS (YOU ARE THE ONE) May 30/84 Karl Rigelhof

They say that good guys finish last
But you will be number one
You only bend so far
Before you snap back
And assume the attack
We'll see who's gonna win the race
Because you are the one

It doesn't matter who you step on
On your way (up) to the top
Because you're not coming back down
It doesn't matter what you say
When you're on your way
Because you're not going to be around

You shouldn't care who you discredit
When you're trying to get it
Since they will be left behind
You shouldn't care what you dismember
(Because) you won't remember it
Since these trivial details escape the mind

You don't have to take what you get
You can ask for more
Or you can take whatever you want
You don't have to give them
What they're asking for
You can tell them what you want

Because you are the one
You have just begun
To show them all
How it's done

You stand tall
you stand alone
You've got what you want
You don't need anything else

Power and money to spend
You don't need (any) friends
You have enough enemies
To keep you company
Because you are the one
You are number one

It doesn't matter whose back you stab
When you're on the grab
Just as long as it gets you there
It doesn't matter whose life you ruin
When you know that soon
You will be in control everywhere

As far as you can reach
As long as you can scheme
You claw your way higher
Until you grasp the dream in your heart
And hold it in your hands
Because you are the one
