(chorus)
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
Always trying to be better
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
I have to be the winner
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
Always trying to be better
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
I have to be the winner
(verse)
Everyone expects me to do my best,
but let's put society to the test,
how will they react if I fail,
People act as if it's such a tragic tale.
So what if I don't get first place,
your judgement is just a waste of space,
At my best, you don't notice me at all
you only tend to care when I fall.
I push myself physically and mentally,
sorry that's my perfectionist personality
I don't mean to disappoint can't you see,
I'm a failure, that's the reality
You expect me to win, you expect me to fight,
When they ask the questions, I always get them right,
My failure shines brighter than the winner gold,
I don't care about your comments, sorry if that's cold.
(chorus)
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
Always trying to be better
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
I have to be the winner
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
Always trying to be better
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
I have to be the winner
(verse 2)
I don't understand why it's such a big deal,
I lost a match, so what, how am I supposed to feel,
am I supposed to be ashamed, depressed, unsatisfied,
Quite frankly, im fine, it's just society that cries,
Maybe if everyone didn't expect so much,
and didn't use my success as a crutch,
it wouldn't be such a blow when I lost,
the pedestal you put me on came at a cost.
(chorus)
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
Always trying to be better
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
I have to be the winner
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
Always trying to be better
Faster, Harder, Sharper, Stronger
I have to be the winner
(Bridge)
"How does it feel coming last?"
"I'm shocked. I thought you was going to win"
"You didn't seem to be as sharp or fast"
"Why weren't you this good in the fight"
Guess what? I'm a failure . Deal with it.
