I used to have this idea that getting a silver medal wouldn't set me free oh but you know I really don't need the cash or fame, or credit Nor a big fat bank account with no debit So just set me straight cuz even your peace of mind just can't wait

Chorus:
I'll send a telegram marked urgent, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big, big, door
I'm going free if they kill me
Cuz this ain't much better anyway, so just push it away

Oh success That elusive brainchild of greed, something you want not need, face it cuz money can't by true friendship or trust And applause will never be any substitute for love but not me man check it out!

(Repeat chorus)
